Overview | Little La Madre | La Madre Mountains Wilderness, Nevada

Adventure to occur on a Spring or Fall day soon!

Where is Little La Madre Peak?

“Little La Madre Peak” (elevation 7,033ft), also known on maps as “East La Madre Peak” is located just East of La Madre Mountain, the highest point in the La Madre Mountains Wilderness of Nevada. In fact, it’s at the East edge of the La Madre Mountains Ridgeline and overlooks Brownstone Basin to the South, Kyle Canyon to the North and the Las Vegas Metro Area to the East. In fact, the route up the ridgeline to Little La Madre offers one of the most spectacular views of the Las Vegas Metro area.

Two Great Southern Nevada Ridgelines

The impressive La Madre Mountains Ridgeline, stretches from the Western edge of Las Vegas to the Eastern edge of Lovell Canyon crossing above Brownstone Basin, Calico Basin and Red Rock Canyon to the South and Kyle Canyon to the North. It ends as its Western edge meets up with the Wilson Ridgeline, another impressive ridgeline which spans the distance between Highway 160 and Harris Mountain. Traversing these great ridgelines, among others in the area, is like being on a mountaintop the entire way with huge views of the Southern Nevada wilderness!

Best Time of Year to Explore Little La Madre Peak

 The best time of year to summit Little La Madre Peak is Spring or Fall, avoiding Winter’s dangerous icy conditions and Summer’s dangerously high heat.
