Overview | “South of South” Peak | Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, Nevada
Okay, a couple corrections:
- This peak is technically “West” of South Peak, but it stands alone as the Southernmost peak in the Rainbow Mountains ridgeline, before the ridgeline continues across Highway 160 toward Potosi Mountain summit and the very Southernmost extent of the Spring Mountains. Thus, when you summit this peak, you’re continuing on the upper spine of the Spring Mountains Ridgeline as it continues onward “South of South Peak”.
- Ibolya Ridge is its true name!

Directions to Route Starting Point | “South of South” Peak | Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, Nevada
Take I-215 to the Charleston Blvd. Exit in Summerlin, then head upward toward Red Rock Park. Pass Red Rock Park, continuing on Hwy 159. Pass the town of Blue Diamond, then turn right onto Hwy 160 toward Pahrump. Hwy 160 will ascend upward to a high point just before the town of Mountain Springs. Around that high point park at the Mountain Springs Trailhead on your right. The trailhead has no marking and is a hard right turn off Hwy 160 onto a dirt road and into an area that looks like an unimproved campground with scattered areas to park. If you are the first to arrive in the morning it’s not obvious that you are at a trailhead. To make the Mountain Springs trailhead even more difficult to recognize there is a large sign at the entrance “Residential Use Only”.
