Some weirdo hiker.

 

About halfway up the trail and chewing on Mormon Tea to keep me going.

 

Josh scrambles up one of the steeper sections. Overall though, there weren't many technical areas on this hike.

Looking toward North Las Vegas over the first ridgeline.

 

There was still snow near the top. According to our pocket weather meter it was 42 degrees up here.

 

From the top looking down on Red Rock Canyon.

 

Turtlehead Peak.... piece of cake!
