"Drove to AZ from Vegas to watch a Dodgers Spring Training game (they lost). We got there early enough for a quick hike, so Dylan & I hiked to Shaw Butte & Shaw Butte Radio Tower. Fun day!" — Kevin • Mar 17, 2019

"After a great climb on Pyramid I knew Ludden wouldn't be as good. I ended up finding some class 3 that was forced but came across a bee hive under a rock 50 feet from the top. I got completely destroyed, getting stung 5 or 6 times on the neck and face. Not the ideal finish for the summit. " — MatthewWinterberg • Feb 28, 2019

"I went all over this place. parked at the North Mtn visitors center , took the tunnel, first I went left up some random hill, then to Stoney. Walked the whole area, saw a few bikes and even less hiking traffic. The alltrails app screwed me because it only shows a loop trail that doesn't go to the summit, so if you use it, you have to branch off at the loop high point and it goes right up the side of Stoney. I didn't think it was sketchy , just take your time. " — puddlepirate • Jan 2, 2019

"I started at 4 pm when my car said it was 107 degrees. I knew this would be easy and I also really took my time. It was probably the hottest I have ever hiked in. I went off trail from northeast of the peak, which was a fun ascent." — ZachTeich • Jun 2, 2018

"After summiting point 1845, I hurried down to the saddle, then power hiked up to the summit of Shadow. I hurried down, then ran where I could back to my wife and son, who were waiting in the car. The temperature was in the 100's, and I didn't want them waiting too long. It was a fun workout in the heat." — ZachTeich • Jun 1, 2018
