"Amber, Jodie & I made the 10 hour drive from Vegas to Jarbidge after work on Friday, arriving at around 1am. We were up around 6am for our 630am meetup time with Joel & Larry. Unfortunately, due to Jarbidge being on Mountain Time and the rest of Nevada being on Pacific Time, there was some confusion and we weren't all together until about an hour after we were planning. Once together, we drove to the trailhead, which was rocky with some stream crossings, but not horrible. I had loaded a few different GPS tracks, so we had options on different routes and peaks in the area, with Matterhorn being the main objective. We followed the trail for a couple of miles, finally reaching the ridge that most use to access Matterhorn. We were all still sleepy and that ridge looked loose and not-fun. I suggested that we continue on the trail past Jarbidge Lake, where it would be easier to gain the ridge. We would also go up and over Government Peak and Cougar Peak, which Larry also wanted to do. The rest of the trail was great. Once we left the trail and started following the ridge to Government Peak, our pace slowed considerably. There were game trails, but they weren't very good.
