Mummy's Toe & Deer Creek Canyon

Before You Join Us
To help us get everyone on the trail safely and efficiently, please complete the VegasHikers participant waiver before the hike. Completing it in advance helps speed up the check-in process so we can spend less time on paperwork and more time enjoying the trail. Click to open➡️Participant Waiver

If you've already completed a participant waiver with me, even better; there's nothing else you need to do.

📌This hike goes up the North Loop Trail to Raintree, over to Mummy Springs, & then up to the distinctive peak with an incredible 360-degree view. We will descend via Deer Creek Canyon. While mostly a moderate class 1 trail, this hike has significant sections of steep class 1 and 2 trail, scree, and minor scrambling that require good balance.
This is a strenuous hike.
