This is the crown jewel of Red Rock Canyon and one of my favorite Las Vegas summit hikes. A long day with over 16 miles starting from the willow springs trailhead and some class 3 moves and exposure as you begin to approach the summit. Join me on an incredible early November weather day of clear skies, light winds, and social distancing at its finest.

Hey Dr. Foor, I've been a fan of yours for a few years. Congratulations on finishing the 14ers! If you're looking for hike next summer, I'd recommend Eagle Mountain - the Minnesota state high point. The views of the boundary waters are amazing, and I'd rate the hike as being as difficult as an easy 14er.

Thanks Brad. It sure looks beautiful!

Another great hike Doc! I have to go there. I like desert and sandstone! Not much here in canada! :) Thanks for the inspiration.

Grew up in Vegas. We did this hike in the early '70's when there were only dirt roads and few people out in Red rocks. One of my all times favorites. The Sierra club used to be very active back then.

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

Interesting you bring this up Jack. The paint used on some of the rocks for directions is still there. I believe it was done in the 60's. Today it's meetup hikes that are the big thing in Vegas.

@jackchivvis4188 3 года назад

@@FoorYourSuccess There were no painted rocks, trails or cairns in the early '70's and few even knew this place existed.

Wonderful adventure and beautiful video - your hiking skills are legendary. Are you planning another hike in the area - to summit the chairs facing one-armed bandits?

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

I'm out and about a lot in the winter hiking but I don't make a lot of videos! I'll keep an eye on those one armed bandits. :-)

Great hike. Any concerns about mountain lions or bob cats while out there on your own? My kind of hike. Thanks for taking us along!

@FoorYourSuccess Год назад

Hi Shelly. There are mountain lions in Red Rock Canyon. I have yet to see one.

@joyoftoday5381 3 года назад

Great video. Thank you for posting. How many miles is the road part that you walked to the trail?

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

Thank you! From the start of Rocky Gap to the turnoff up to North Peak it's about 3 miles.

Good day Brandon - Any hiking schedule for summer 2021 yet? Always great adventures. Appreciate

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

Hi Kirk. One of the things I'm looking at is Loveland Pass to Guanella Pass. Several 13ers along with Gray and Torreys.

@waynenoll1967 3 года назад

Love your channel and videos. How many snakes have you encountered around Red Rocks and the Vegas area? I saw you hiking where there were rocks and brush on both sides, seemingly perfect cover for rattlesnakes, and you were just walking through. Do you ever worry about them?

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

Hi Wayne. While I'm sure there are plenty, I've run into just a few over the 15 years I've been hiking in Red Rock Canyon.

@CleoandCoco 3 года назад

I did this hike 4 years ago and the best part was that a pilot did a barrel roll in his plane right in between bridge mountain and the other mountains. I was right there at the saddle when he did it and it was relatively close- the plane was roaring above me. A treat only myself and my 2 friends would witness, as we did not see any other hikers all day.

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

Super cool! I've been on several summits and probably seen that same pilot doing those tricks.

I've hiked about 1/3 of the RR trails, mostly easy/mod ones. I was able to do Turtlehead Peak no problem. What special equipment will I need for Bridge Mtn? I mostly fear sliding off the mtn as I'm not a climber so I don't have climbing gear. I carry the basics: reg hiking boots, gloves, camelbak.

@FoorYourSuccess 2 года назад

If you stay on the standard route from willow springs up rocky gap (as my hike shows), no technical gear is required and the most challenging scrambling is class 3.

How’s rocky gap road? In your opinion would a 4runner make it to the trailhead?

@FoorYourSuccess 3 года назад

IMO...YES if you go slow in a few required 4wd spots.

@davidzibelli8613 3 года назад

No problem in a 4 runner. I do it in my Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.
