Turtlehead Peak (Red Rocks, Las Vegas, NV)

Taking on two internships this summer is going to put a cramp in my hiking style but I am still going to try and be a weekend warrior.

Recently Mike Esselman (fellow BYU MBA 1st year student) and I enjoyed an early morning summit of Turtlehead Peak in the Red Rocks recreation area in Las Vegas. A steep climb and therefore satisfying! Here are a few shots...


A view of the peak during the ascent. The trail went straight up the gulley to the left (the steep part) and then approached the ridge from along the ridge and up the backside of the peak.

A view from the peak with the popular Red Rocks in the foreground. There were a lot of people climbing, rapelling, exploring, etc... on a Saturday morning.
