Hamblin Mountain - 1/27/22

Lake Mead from summit of Hamblin Mountain

Six Hikers taking a break at the Petrified Wood

Again combining pods (two, this time), six hikers went to Lake Mead NRA to celebrate health! Starting from Northshore Road's mile marker 18 turnout, we hiked up Pinto Valley Wash to Hamblin Mountain. Today, we did the hike that contains a small loop in a clockwise direction. (The elevation charts below indicate the counter-clockwise direction that we usually do.) It was a fabulous day. No wind, almost, even though it was forecast in a big way. We saw sheep in a distant gulley when we reached the ridge below the summit. On the summit, we read the log book and saw that we had several friends that had climbed there just the day before. Great day! And, great friends! Beautiful views!

Stats: 6.7 miles; 1450' gain; 3.5 hours
