Divide Peak with a twist - Level 3

Divide Peak with a new twist. I know, everything that I do has a new twist or turn. Therefore, please read the enrire write up. Divide Peak in my opinion is an under rated peak in the Spring Mountains, with gorgeous views. It sits off the Bonanza Trail.

The hike will start in Mack Canyon. We will be making a loop out of the route.
And, me and my car will be staying in Mack Canyon to camp for the night and to attend the Mack Peak hike with Rob Shaw the next day. Please let me know if you are interested in camping. You can still attend if you don’t want to camp. But, you will need to drive yourself. You can message me if you are curious about the road conditions.

Bring at least 3 liters of water, snacks, electrolytes, extra layers, sun and rain protection and camping gear. The weather on Mt. Charleston tends to be unpredictable. Hiking boots and trekking poles are recommended.

Safety
Getting everyone through the hike safely is my first priority. You can help yourself and everyone else stay safe by being aware of the following:

Rock Fall
This is one of the greatest dangers we face. Don’t unnecessarily cause any extra rock fall and be certain to alert hikers behind you, should a rock accidentally start to fall their way.

Group Hiking
Always 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.
