Voted 10/10 | Good page. Looks interesting. Perhaps mention something more about the Bristlecones other than "don't burn them". Since they are the oldest trees in the world, and it might be interesting infromation to put on the page. | |

Voted 10/10 | Looks like another fun one to escape from the Las Vegas scene. All these good ones so close to the neon city. Nice write up. | |

Voted 10/10 | Not bad. You should remove the apostrophe in the name. | |

Hasn't voted | Thanks Paul. I was/am under the impression that Mack's Peak (and Canyon) is possessive. | |

Voted 10/10 | Yes, possessive. No, apostrophe. The USGS standard/policy is to not include apostrophes for possessive names to avoid confusion and ambiguity (especially on their maps where an apostrophe mark might be mistaken for or hide another map feature). In this case, even though the name is unofficial and does not appear on the map, if it ever did in the future it would appear as Macks Peak. One might as well apply the USGS convention now. There have been very few exceptions granted over the years (maybe half-a-dozen). | |

Hasn't voted | Aah, I understand now. I changed the name of the peak (removed the apostrophe), but to save myself a lot of extra work, I'll likely leave it as it is in the narrative and on photo descriptions, etc. Thanks for the info. | |

Voted 10/10 | Another good one. It seem that getting there is quite a challenge (from the length of your section :-)) | |

| redsplashman23 | Elevation Gain | |
Voted 10/10 | Just wanted to say it's actually just over 1800 feet elevation gain! Not the 1200 you said or 1177 that Branch Whitney says in his book. The elevation at the trailhead at the end of Macks Canyon road is 8216 Feet (verifies with my GPS), and Macks Peak is 10,033. I just hiked it this last weekend and added a lot of pictures. | |
