Got rained out 30 min from peak. Lightning caused us to turn around.

Great hike to train on, rapid ascend with a few flat breaks here and there.

This is a fun trail. But you must know how to navigate small rocks and washed out trails. Know how to use 4 wheel low to make it easier. Great views and some cool hidden stuff you need to find on your own.

Lots of deep snow. Most trails are completely covered but Cathedral Rock trail is visible until the end where you get stuck and have to turn around. Expect ankle to knee deep steps without snowshoes.

We extended the loop we did last time. Easy trail to hike. Trekking poles not required. The pause stopped time at the end was a little long because I forgot to stop the hike while we were relaxing at the picnic tables.

A good hike to beat the desert heat an hour away. Went in mid June there was no spring or water to see but did see lots of butterflies. Did this hike with a 5 year old in 2 hours.

The hike is easy, (after the initial short uphill section) the views of both sides of the valley cliffs are the best

This is a nice trail for elevation gain. We hiked with some inexperienced hikers and some more experienced. Going up the loop the trail is wide and we’ll used. Coming back down the way we did is much narrower. We saw 5 deer, heard birdsong and more chipmunks than I could count. The time of the hike was long because of our newbies. An experienced group could do it much faster.

This road has some of the best plant adversity in the area and some stunning J trees amongst pines

Great family hike. There was still a lot of color in the quaking aspens, though it appears to be going away fast.

The hike was great. You’ll get to get out of the Vegas heat when you reach the trail head. About a 20* difference than the Strip. Don’t expect too much of a waterfall. The “falls” was more like a stream. It was incline going all the way up to the falls. Some parts of the trail needs to be touched up but other than that great hike. I brought along my 9year old Miniature Dachshund and he made it up there worth no problems. Difficulty: Moderate

Popular area to hike.
This is just a mileage from the junction of Fletcher Peak Trailhead to to the start of the North Loop Trailhead.

Took my 3 1/2 year old and 5 year hiking up to the waterfall (around 8280ft). They did great and didn’t need to be carried. Just make sure you bring plenty of water, snacks, and take breaks and they’ll make it no problem.

I consider this hike to be more of a moderate hike. Did it on Wednesday and it was awesome. About half way up there is an avalanche that has taken out some of the trail. If your capable you can traverse up the avalanche diagonally about 50 yards and find the trail again. Someone has marked it with rocks. The view at the top is well worth the work to get there
