"Gunsmoke Peak was a last minute add to the original route we planned to McFarland and N. McFarland. We scrambled up a wash from the "standard" north route to McFarland that took us directly to Gunsmoke. Good, solid rock in the wash where we needed to get up cliff bands. Would do that route again. From Gunsmoke we took the ridge line traverse over to McFarland and then down the northern ridge line to North McFarland. The route was not difficult and definitely a good one to do again.

"LVMC trip with 8 folks. I've taken the north canyon (L) route to McFarland at least 10x, and this was my 4th time coming down the N McF ridge. My main aim is to report on road conditions. My current preferred route is from the fenced ATV parking. The original HikingLasVegas road (reportedly) has a deep washout (which can be circumvented by taking a connector from Mud Springs Road.).

"Huge (de Q) Thanks to Harlan for driving & guiding Tracy and me on this hike that is up there as one of the most beautiful and rugged I've ever done. It tested my endurance and had amazing views, fossils everywhere, a giant arch formation, wild horses, every variety of rock, flower & pine tree and saw the NV state Mountain Bluebird. We traveled up a canyon north of the peak that had dry waterfalls, cliffs and a steep grade. We descended the entire rugged McFarland Ridge and bagged No. McFarland along the way. Amazing day.

"Led a group of 3 up here today. We took the north ridge up & over North McFarland Peak, past the arch & up to the summit of McFarland Peak. For a change of scenery, we descended North Canyon. It was a beautiful day with great people!" — Kevin • Jun 14, 2013
