Moapa Peak is a great peak, one of my local favorites! It is on the LVMC 50 Classic Peak List, and features some fun class 3 along the steep ridgeline, and a knife-edge ridge to the summit for the last quarter mile or so. This is not a good trip for you if you are afraid of heights!

Moapa is located about an hour east of Las Vegas, just north of I-15, very eye-catching as you drive by toward Mesquite. The trailhead is reached by about 8 miles of dirt road. High-clearance vehicles needed.
