"Nice cool day after the rain here in Las Vegas, so bagged a couple peaks I have not been to yet. The hike is up a service road to the top of Arden that has a bunch of radio towers on it. Just beware I was busted by a service worker on the peak who said I was trespassing, oops. So no peak pics from the top since I quickly left. " — maggielynn • Feb 21, 2024
"started on a dirt road up to Arden. Then its all off trail along the ridge. The Fortress looks impossible to summit. but there is one way on south side. There was a cairn marking it. It was alot of class 3. " — derek-puraVida • Apr 2, 2023
"1.19.2023~Arden to Poop Mtn (aka The Fortress) traverse, North McCullough Range, Sloan Canyon. 10 miles, 2,400’ gain, Anthem to Henderson in 5:05hrs. Could have been faster but the route was miserable, I had to take a call mid hike and I made horrible shoe choice that had me in pain. 1st time doing this traverse. I made some mistakes and plan to redo it with a cleaner route. It started a sunny day and ended a rainy day. Beautiful rugged route." — paula.raimondi • Jan 20, 2023
"We wanted to stay on trails today, since Luna is wearing a cone (ear infection). We hiked to the Anthem Hills East Trail Highpoint, then did Park Peak. Beautiful weather & we saw some bighorn sheep!" — Kevin • Feb 27, 2022
"3.26.2021~Arden, 4,055’ & Anthem East Trail HP~6.3 miles, 2,300’ gain, 3:57hrs w/Laszlo. Cool Spring Breezes, rocky lava terrain, Bighorn Sheep Fam, hill & dale and summits with 360 views of grandeur were served up to us today. Spring Flowers were nonexistent as our 2020 drought is causing a late arrival. Took some time to break into the 4,055’ reg. I had to get savage with a rock. Great workout.

"Started at Anthem East / Crescent Heights Ave. Headed up past AE HP to Arden Peak, traversed down the NE ridge to Peak 4055, down the east ridge (short class 3 obstacle) and up to The Fortress. Was planning to climb down the NE ridge of The Fortress but it looked pretty hairy, never been there before and didn't feel comfortable doing it solo so went back down the main chute on the west side and then up the ridge to Peak 3920 (more class 3 that can be avoided, one of the holds broke under my foot but thanks to 3 points of contact didn't fall!). All in all an AWESOME day hiking after a long lazy vacation in Brian Head. Beautiful weather. Recorded a low temp of around 25 at Peak 4055 and found a few small ice tanks on the rocks from yesterday's rain. Oh and a pretty cool lava rock arch coming down from Arden, unusual sights for McCullough! Just me on the trail, a mountain biker past me twice on the "pandemic" trail (is that new lol?) it's the one near the wash that leads to Fortress. And a small plane flying low and slow below the top of Rattlesnake. On the AE trail back to car looked over at Shadow Canyon and counted 13 cars at BM TH not including the parking lot that ..." — DudeAlmighty • Mar 16, 2021
