The town of Nipton is so small you can walk entirely around it in about 10 minutes. But it has a great parking area right alongside the railroad tracks plus a café and convenience store for most everything that you might need for your railfanning enjoyment. And if you're really serious about your railfanning you can stay in the Hotel Nipton, a small bed & breakfast a few short steps from the tracks.
