We wanted something a little different today, so Laszlo & I headed towards Searchlight, NV to knock out a few 'quickies' out that way. Our first destination was Morning Glory Peak. We parked at a pullout along the highway and headed directly up the West Ridge. It was quite windy and this made my allergies go crazy. From there, we dropped down to the East and made our way over to Light Benchmark. There was nothing spectacular about either of these peaks, but we found the loop enjoyable.
