| Matthew Holliman | Last peak of the day  Date Climbed: May 21, 2007 | |
| Final peak on an unexpectedly scenic and enjoyable dayhike around the North Loop and South Loop trails, tagging Fletcher, Mummy, Lee, Charleston, and this en route. It would have been nice to continue on to Harris, but I had no exit strategy besides slogging back along the road to my car, so I decided that would have to wait for another time. | |

| madmallard | south loop side trip Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2006 | |
| bagged griffith on the way out from charleston on the south loop. this one made three peaks in two days. the views of vegas from here are superb. it almost makes you wish that you had a hang glider to be able to float all the way back down to the strip. | |

| Tracy | Start 'em YOUNG! Route climbed: Harris Springs Trail Date Climbed: Sep 8, 1993 | |
| I climbed this one with my sister, Amy; her husband, Michael Eschenberg; my 4-year, 9-month old son, Lance; and my 35-month old son, Travis; six days after their sister Jackie was born (Mom and Jackie stayed home). Lance hiked most of the way without help, but Michael helped me take turns carrying Travis when he got too tired to keep hiking on his own. We all made the summit. | |

| cp0915's posting below is right on the mark - this is a terrific day hike! The view from Griffith Peak is one of the very best in the Spring Mountains, and the trip up and down is far less taxing than the Charleston Peak death march. | |

| Minimal patchy snow at the summit, and it's melting fast. My 8 year old made another summit. Woo Hoo! July 23, 2005-A nice dayhike, the ground is damp from recent rains. | |

| We had hoped to replicate my brother's truly heroic ascent of Charleston Peak the previous 4th of July, but we were forced to settle for Griffith Peak instead. No matter - we were cashed, the views were wonderful, and this fine peak gave us a real sense of accomplishment. | |

| A very nice half-day hike. The South Loop Trail is exceptionally scenic and the summit views are considerable... Mt. Charleston and Mummy Mountain to the north, the Sheep Range and Gass Peak to the northeast, Muddy Peak, Lake Mead and Frenchman Mountain, oh, and Las Vegas to the ESE, Black Mountain, Mt. Potosi and Red Rock to the south, and Telescope Peak to the west. Nice! | |
