"Solo but saw a bunch of friendly faces. Last 4 miles were rough when i ran out of everything. Drank a liter right from mummy springs. A nice lady Laura gave me a ride back to my car because she saw me dry heaving haha" — bend • Jul 22, 2023
"Still lots of snow on Griffith trail. Annoying on way up but super fun on the way down as you can just cut the switchbacks and slide down all the snow. All snow is avoidable after Griffith , pleasant walk to la madre HP . " — joshortman • Jun 10, 2023

"2.5 hours round trip from south loop. Not much to say about this one , trail leads all the way to top no scrambling involved. Collected some business cards. Lots of fun to be bad up in this area" — joshortman • Oct 28, 2022
"One of my favorite Mt Charleston peaks by far. It reminded me a lot of CO. I loved the terrain, the views, the challenge, all of it. I got stormed on while heading back down but it was still an amazing day." — CheshireKatt13 • Aug 24, 2022
"Inspiration came from AceKelly. I quickly got off route into some dicey rock. I think part of this may be Lazslo's route to Baby Griffith. Heard lots of thunder as I climbed up east side of Griffith, fortunately little rain.
I've taken three off-trail route to Griffith this summer; this was definitely the most challenging" — hwstock • Aug 15, 2022
"Good ole Griffith Peak ... man I hate it! The views help ease the pain on this beast of a trail. I've got my eye on the gully route, still some big chucks of snow up there. Planning to return before the new snow, many other peaks stand in the way. It was a perfect summer day. 54°F at the peak and light breezes throughout. Not a cloud in the sky.
Oh! We saw a family of mule deer early on the trail at the eastern-most turn (by the old FS road and before the steep stair climb towards southern echo cliff. 2 bucks, a doe and a fawn. Crazy part was they were still there when we returned on descent. " — DudeAlmighty • Jul 7, 2022
"11.3.2021~Griffith Peak (11,060’) /Harris Mtn. (10,013’) Combo Meal, via The Rainbow Subdivision in Kyle Canyon, 11 miles, 5,000’ gain in 7:08hrs. I took it slow because I forgot my ankle brace, the route is rough and in a burn area with a lot of off trail, so I couldn’t hurl myself up and down these mountains as fast as I normally would. An unusually warm November had me choosing shorts instead of leggings. My normal 1.5 liters of water wasn’t enough (due to the heat) so I drank a bottle of melted snow. I consumed only one homemade meatball sammie. This rarely used 5 mile Griffith/Harris Trail was recently restored by hard working volunteers after being decimated in the 2013 Carpenter 1 fire. I use this route often but I use to have to climb over many logs and clamber over cliffs on the ridge as the trail was very hard to follow. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen what it looked like before the fire. The mountain is quiet with ample solitude. It felt good to be in high elevation again." — paula.raimondi • Nov 3, 2021
"It was a perfect day for a hike. It was 67 degrees in the parking lot when I got there and the temps stayed pretty consistent the whole way up. The wind was blowing pretty strong at the top. I wouldn't be surprised if the temps were in the 50s with the wind chill! My knee felt great for the first time in a while. It was just a great all around day!" — codyparks • Sep 11, 2021
"Started with 52 Peak Club to Griffith, then broke off SOLO to Charlie, down the north ridge via Devil's Thumb route, up to Rocketship, Lee and the old USGS rain gauge. Had planned on going to Mummy as well but when I reached the base of the climb I decided to call it since I was down to 0.5 L of water and running out of daylight as well. All in all an excellent day training up for my Whitney attempt in 3 weeks. 66º at Charlie Pk around 1:30PM." — DudeAlmighty • Jun 15, 2021
