"Ho boy. So this was a trip. Started on the dirt road trail as advertised on this peaks page and on Alltrails. The elevation said 1.2k over the course of the whole experience, which was fine. "I've done this before," I thought to myself. Forgetting that this was dubbed easy when I was 50lbs lighter and in the best shape of my life haha.
Anyway, this fairly straightforward trail turned into quite the adventure. I took a wrong turn and instead of going up the power line trail, I ended up in the wash directly next to and below it. Whoops. It was worth it though, because a boarded up mine was a little ways up it.
Anyway, near the end of said wash, it came to a halt, so a steep climb up screen to the side of the hill to the power cable road it was! Numerous breaks later, the ridgeline was in the bag. At this point, I knew I would never come back here so I had no choice but to off Ophir and Davidson in one go.
Ophir was easy and the rest on the rocks next to it was much needed. I did hit up Davidson afterwards and it looks like the old "no trespassing" sign was no longer around. Davidson was a treat, but a lot of ups and downs getting there! Appreciated the carvings from the 1800s. ..." — alexehagen • May 21, 2022
"A leisurely hike with Girls Who Hike NV. Hit up Ophir Hill and Mt. Davidson. Didn't see anyone else on the hike, yay! Took the road up, then cut down closer to the ravine on the way down. Hit two small patches of soft snow. Brought microspikes but didn't need them. Poles were helpful." — kaylam87 • Apr 21, 2018
