Adventure will occur during an upcoming Fall or Spring
This is the very point at where the Northern point of the Rainbow Mountains Upper Crest Ridgeline begins. It begins at White Rock Mountain (Willow Spring Area) in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada. The other pages for sections of the Upper Crest Ridgeline are complete (see the website menu). This far North section will be worked out during an upcoming Spring or Fall. However, I did create a brief video on this page showing this far North section and describing potential future explorations there.
From I-215 take the Charleston Blvd exit (at Red Rock Casino) and head upward through Summerlin toward Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Take the Red Rock Canyon scenic drive past the high point overlook to the Willow Spring picnic area between White Rock Mountain and the Rainbow Mountains that border the West side of Red Rock Canyon.
David Smith has devoted the better part of one day each week over the past 20 years to experiencing a mountain trail running adventure. He began in the Pacific Northwest with the Columbia Gorge and Cascade Mountains; then moved to Southern California and experienced the Angeles Crest mountains; then the Northeast where he experienced the Hudson River Valley and Minnewaska; finally in 2016 to Las Vegas where he is experiencing and documenting Red Rock Canyon, the Spring Mountains (Mt. Charleston area), Death Valley and beyond!
