Closest place to Las Vegas to harvest my own BBQ wood?

[John Goostree]

I would love to find some dead trees somewhere and harvest my own BBQ wood, Oak, whatever I could use. I've been trying to Google it but I haven't been able to figure out the closest place that would have Oak trees or any acceptable type of tree would I could try to harvest for. Can anyone tell me/give me a suggestion?

Call the Dept Of Forestry closest to you.
They have boots on the ground and often mark trees that their foresters just fell that you can go cut up.
