Shortcut to the
Kahn's Encampment

Go to the road in front of Vault 19. Just past the parking lot and across the road is a trail going up a hill. Go up the trail as shown, then after a short distance, turn left and go a short way up.

Alert: At the top of the path, you may get swamped by Deathclaws ("DCs") - notice the 5 red pips at the bottom left of the left picture below - so this is easier if you kill the DCs in the quarry first.

If you get past the DCs after going up the trail, watch for the trail on the left.

You come out at a huge bucket from a digging machine.

Go to the right of that and 3 Kahns are standing around. Talk to the female for a mission.
Be sure the camp site registers on your map so that you can fast travel back.

Go to Primm, to the right tent at the end of the street and talk to Tyrone. 
To maximize XP, go to the other tent and turn in Tyrone, the fast travel back to the Kahn campsite and kill them. I do this because later I will choose to wipe out the Kahn for the NCR.

If you return this way after killing all the DCs, you may see one on the first path going up. Get above the Vault 19 parking lot again to safely snipe it.
To get up in the hills over Vault 19, you can climb some boulders due west of the Whittaker Farmstead, but then you may have to deal with some Vipers or Powder Gangers.  

 
An even safer entry is a path going up due west of the Samson rock crushing plant further north, then turn south and walk until you get to the Vault 19 overlook area.
