Overview:  You begin the hike rather easily. Follow the Calico Tanks signs out of the parking lot to the north, then headright into the canyon tha... more »t emerges. You will experience a long, winding, short-hill descent, and then will arrive at an intersection of two valleys.(Wpt3) Be sure to head left at this point. You can follow the trail (often just to the east of the creek bed) or scramble up the creek itself. When you begin to see a Red Rock valley open up to your right, scramble up the hill to the north in an eastward direction.

You will have to scramble up to the east quite a bit, just be sure to stay NORTH of giant body of water that you encounter at the first crest. From there, it's just a matter of following the ridge-line.

Follow the ridge to the summit and enjoy the views. less «
