Enjoy grand views of Red Rock Canyon and the Bridge Point Cliffs.
This challenging rock climb, for experienced climbers, begins at the Pine Creek Canyon Trailhead in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada. Take the Pine Creek Canyon trail to Dale’s Trail. Take a right onto Dale’s Trail and head for a large gully at the base of Bridge Mountain. Ascend midway up the gully and head left up a crack system. You’ll climb clockwise around Eva’s Tower to summit from the back side.
From I-215 take the Charleston Blvd exit (at Red Rock Casino) and head upward through Summerlin toward Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It’s the first right turn after Calico Basin. Take the Red Rock Canyon scenic drive to the West side of Red Rock Canyon. Pine Creek Canyon will be the next major trailhead parking area past Icebox Canyon, about 2/3rds the way around the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive.
“This hike starts at Pine Creek Canyon and hike Northish then west to the correct gully/wash up. You’ll run into mostly class 2/3 with a 3+ area. Once up most of the way the route turns south/left and wraps behind the sub peak. The actual sub peak has a 3+ last short climb to be on top.” -John Garner
