My Top 10 Routes/Peaks I Found

1. Fence Post Peak - maybe the most unique hike in the country. Doing the loop hike which includes climbing South Peak and the Overlook is the perfect hike. Such diversity in the terrain is mind blowing. All three summits are dirt, not rock! This hike should be done during the cooler months.

Location: China Date Ranch, CA

2. White Pinnacle Peak -  walking out to the very exposed summit is something you will never forget. This is not a long hike, but there's plenty of scrambling before you get to the final exposed walk. You can start this hike anytime, since it's not along the Scenic Loop drive in Red Rock Canyon.

3. Bridge 360 - The route does a 360 around the dome of Bridge Mtn. This looks totally impossible from ever angle.  The route involves a short rap.
Location: Red Rock Canyon

4. Three Peak Hike in Death Valley - This is an excellent, round trip hike, that goes to three different peaks including Red Cathedral, Damn Fool and Manly Beacon.

5. The Hideout - Exposed scrambling route to a area where someone was hiding out from...? In the video you will see old batteries, canteen and other artifacts.

6. Monument Traverse - Super hardcore hike that travels to four peaks with a short rap. There's a tank when full it's more than 12 feet deep!
Location: South Red Rock Canyon

7. Eva's Tower - great scrambling hike with incredible scenery.  By doing an easy rappel you can shorten the descent route by 50%!

8. Ice Box Peak - The peak is like an island in the sky.  There's no easy route to this one!

9. Boot Boulder -  Short scrambling route to a boulder that looks like a boot!  There's some exposed climbing on this route. Good winter hike.
Location: Red Rock Canyon

10. Bridge Point SE Face Route - One of the toughest routes in Red Rock Canyon. Lots of class 4 and 5 climbing.  It also has the coolest slot in all of Red Rock. 
​Location: Red Rock Canyon.

Over the last 23 years I have been exploring all over the Southwest and the above peaks and routes are the best I have found. Most of these peaks are less than 20 miles from the heart of Las Vegas!
