It is best to hike this trail during winter or early spring to avoid the high temperatures. Although this trail is strenuous, it is well worth the effort to the summit. On a clear day you can see the entire Las Vegas valley from Lake Mead to Mt. Charleston! On Average this hike can take about 3 hours and has over 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
