If you are near Mt. Charleston go up to the elevations where the pines start taking 157 to the town of Mt. Charleston and you will find Tapinoma schreiberi!!  I went there to find colonies to get field data for my species description paper.  They will be in the leaf litter.

It all depends on what you want to catch.

I went there on an anting trip back in 2022 and I found 5 C.Vicinus queens.

You should have no problem finding Carpenters in those mountains but most harvesters are around deserts.

Illegal to collect in national parks.

Right I forgot about that rule. My mind thought it was illegal to collect from private property. But that is also true.
