As a hiking club based in Las Vegas, Nevada, we are a group of young-at-heart people age 50 and over who participate in outdoor activities. We welcome adult guests from anywhere in the world. This website has been trademarked since 2/3/2012. Be kind. Be positive.
The writer apologizes to all the web surfers who have been to this page for information on Frenchman Mountain. Suffice it to say, the report on this hike was that it was difficult at best with a large amount of exposure which tested the will of the 12 hikers who participated on this hike. Stories about this particular hike will be told for a few years until the clarity of the experience fades! This hike will likely not be repeated by ABF for a few more years. That said, it is still a valid and challenging hike for those who are ready, willing and able.
Had a chance in March 2011, to do 'Frenchman Mtn.'
Well, once I made the attempt on the north side -- strange people standing out in the desert, before daylight (I wanted to get night pics of Vegas,) I ended up going back to the west side. Going up in the dark before dawn that morning. Would have liked going up the road to the summit. But I did get the pictures I wanted, looking out from the west. Not actually at the summit though. Next time in Las Vegas, will do the summit during the day. Thanks for sharing the information guys...
The Around the Bend Friends hiked the Frenchman Mountain on the east side of the valley today.
