"Finally made it all the way up here. I hurt my back on this ridge almost two years prior & have been back several times since, making it a little further each time. This is a favorite. The views over Valley of Fire & White Basin are outstanding. The huge cliffs are very dramatic. On this trip, I saw lots of bighorns, a chuckwalla & a pair of hawks with a nest in the cliffs below. Lots of wildlife & fossils in this range." — StudioHoodoo • Mar 25, 2018
"We were supposed to do a snow climb of Mount Charleston, but bad weather forced us to make other plans. We parked at the Mouse's Tank Trailhead and followed a very convoluted route up to the summit, where we enjoyed a nice, warm breeze while we had lunch. We saw a stick bug on the hike, which I've never seen out here!" — Kevin • May 6, 2017
