Voted 10/10 | I would imagine he's referring to the standard DPS route, which I think is also the one described in Kathy's route page ("From Daylight Pass Road"). There are two class 3 dry falls encountered along the way. (I suppose these might be bypassed by leaving the wash, to keep it all class 2, but I'm not sure). | |

| MoapaPk | Beatty stopsign, routes | |
Voted 10/10 | Coming from Vegas: I never saw a stoplight in Beatty. There is a stopSIGN where one turns left (S). From the stopsign, it is 19 miles on the paved road to the point where one hits the trail. However, the highway shoulders are quite narrow there, so you might wish to park at ~18.7 or 18.8 miles on the wide right (NW) shoulder, then walk down the road 0.2-0.3 miles to start the hike. Hike: I took the ridge route up (sort-of Wingding's eastern route on the map), and the traditional wash back down. While the wash is clearly much better used, I preferred the ridge route -- also no need to exceed class 2 on the ridge. On descent in the wash, I came across several class 3 dryfalls, and though I went down them for fun, there wasn't a single one that could not be avoided by a slightly longer class 2 route (usually on the W side). (I started descent too high in the wash, and came across a few "off budget" dryfalls.) | |
