"Wanted to explore some newly named peaks in the Lake Mead area before the weather got too hot. Parked at Redstone Picnic area, and angled over toward East Redstone and found a fun new approach (for me) scrambling up a gully - much more fun than my previous route. Then over to Tall Cairn and on to Acceber. Descended intending to do N'Rocla too, but got distracted by a pretty pink and white gully/slot canyon with a dry fall/cliff, and forgot to do it! Next time....(good reason to go back). Then crossed the road and went up to Echo Hills - fun, short scramble. Walked northwest to the end of ridge line (dipping down slightly to the right at one point- don't go left) intending to also summit Basin View, but it was SO windy and it looked really steep and loose, I couldn't see a good line up, so I turned back (another reason to return). Then drove up to the road a bit and did Bobcat Rock from the pull off and Peak 2595, also fun on dark brown/red rock. GPS trouble again, all numbers estimated except time." — tracyt • Apr 4, 2026

"Went out to find a couple of new peaks...Acceber and N'Rocla...for a good hiking friend, Rebecca Alcorn. Get it?! The Lake Mead area has so much to see and do. Explore! Have fun! Be safe!" — Heartattackbruce • Feb 20, 2026
