Safety is the first priority of our hikes. Therefore, all hikers in our group, including another leader who joins us, will stay behind the leader.

Group Hiking: Stay with the group behind the leader. If you don’t want to stay with us, you can always go hiking on your own, though it’s not recommended. Don’t run ahead. If you start to get too far behind, shout ahead before you’re out of range for someone to hear you. I always endeavor to keep track of everyone’s progress, but ultimately it’s your responsibility to communicate what you need.

Weather: The weather in the mountains can change quickly. Vegas can be hot but an unexpected storm in the mountains can become very cold. ALWAYS bring a rain jacket or poncho. Staying dry will save your life. Do not wear cotton clothing and bringing an extra layer is always a good idea.

Griffith is the 3rd highest peak in southern Nevada. Expect a very strenuous, 9.5-mile round-trip hike that climbs about 3,400. Be sure to bring at least 3 liters of water and electrolyte replenisher, lunch, snacks and a smile. 😉
