After Wheeler  Sucess!

Since Wheeler was socked in by cloud and frigid to boot I went down to the saddle and climbed this one instead of Jeff Davis. The skies only opened once I was on top of Bald but the view of Wheeler is exceptional from this peak.

Bald  Sucess!

Kessler wasn’t feeling well, so he didn’t make it very far up the trail. Kim, Shaylee, my dad, and I climbed Wheeler Peak on a very sunny and warm day. It was a beautiful climb and we spent quite a bit of time on time,

On the way down, I also did a side trip and climbed Bald Mountain. The rest of the group went straight to the campsite. Climbing Bald Mountain with Wheeler Peak made a good all day trip.

Another fun trip to Great Basin NP  Sucess!

Had a great time hiking up w/ my wife. We saw eight mule deer along the way, include six bucks on the saddle. The views are excellent all the way around from the summit.

Trifecta  Sucess!

The second day of climbing in the Snake Range, we hit Bald, then Wheeler, and Jeff Davis. Some hail and approaching thunderstorms drove us off Jeff Davis. Deer were abundant on the slopes of Bald.

Bonus Peak  Sucess!

Climbed this after Wheeler and Jeff Davis. Fun last minute Idea I also wanted to climb Buck but the wether moved in very fast forcing us to retreat back to tree line

Bonus Peak!  Sucess!

Added this peak on after doing Wheeler, Jeff Davis, and Wheeler again. Started storming right after we got to the summit so we booked it off.

good kid hike  Sucess!

with the high trailhead and gentle terrain this is a good kid hike. My seven year old did well on this. I would recommend not following the Wheeler Peak trail all the way to the saddle. Instead, just follow the trail until you get to an open meadow and head up (the Wheeler Peak trail is unnecessarily winding and also caused us to have to cross several snowfields when we came down this way). The summit register is still a broken glass jar

Bald Mountain  Sucess!

Perfect afternoon family hike. I carried the 32-pound DayHikerJr in my arms most of the way, which of course adds a bit of work.

At around 10600 feet, we left the trail, taking a more-direct route up about 450 vertical feet to the ridge. Descending, we chose the standard route along the ridge because I was carrying a sleeping kid in my arms and could not see my feet to comfortably do the steep descent of our earlier shortcut. But I guess I could have gone either way because the ridge isn't exactly class-1 either.

The mileages were about 2.5 up and 3.3 down (from the Wheeler Summit trailhead).

Awesome views  Sucess!

Absolutely beautiful area with awesome views, not just from the summit, but on the way up as well. The glass jar for the summit register is cracked....hopefully someone reads this and will replace it. Thanks!
