3-DAY TRIP: Northern Nevada Peaks

This is a trip to summit Big Mountain or Elephant Mountain and some peaks on the way there (Bald Mountain 8553') and back (Ravenswood Peak).

The plan is to stay at Bob Scott Campground Friday night . The other nights we'll be scatter camping (no facilities). If timing works out as planned, we should be able to stop in Winnemucca for dinner both Saturday and Sunday nights, but I recommend being prepared with food, just in case.

Big Mountain is a long hike with significant gain, albeit mostly on a road. Elephant Mountain is a shorter hike with less gain for those who choose or who have already climbed Big Mountain. Both those peaks are wilderness high points and have over 1,400' of prominence

All of these peaks/areas are new to me, so this trip is exploratory.

Total Distance: 4 miles round trip (Sat), 15 or 3 miles (Sun), 4 miles (Mon)
Total Elevation Gain: 2,000' (Sat), 4,200' or 1,300' (Sun), 2,000' (Mon)
Altitude: 4,600' - 8,594'
Terrain Description: Mostly class 1 & 2 expected, possibly some class 3
Approximate Hiking Time: 5 hrs (Sat), 9 or 4 hrs (Sun), 5 hrs (Mon)
