The trail was really icy especially the last mile up to the summit. I didn’t bring any crampons because I didn’t think I would need them but it would have been a million times more enjoyable with some. Would have turned around if I didn’t bring my trekking poles though. Nonetheless it was beautiful with the snow. The wind up at the summit was intense so I only stayed about 15 minutes.

Not far from Vegas. If you go for no other reason it should be to see this awesome cliff art. We stumbled upon the state park almost by accident when I noticed it on the map while we were on a road trip. Very glad we stopped by. We wanted to hike more but there were warning signs up everywhere about the heat. It was July and crazy hot out, and we hadn’t planned on a hike that day. Still, it was a very cool visit.
