Hmm.....the peak is off-limits because the military says so. I don't question exactly why. I thought the references to 9/11 security were adequate. What would you suggest?
IAM GLAD TO FINALLY SEE MOUNT GRANT ADDED TO THE LIST, THIS IS ONE OF NEVADA'S MOST BEAUTIFUL LANDMARKS. HOW FAR CAN YOU SEE ON THE HORIZON? CAN YOU SEE MT. CHARLESTON OR MOUNTAINS IN SOUTHERN NEVADA FROM THE SUMMIT?
I don't beleive that you can see Charlston, due to some of the ridges in Esmeralda County. However, I am pretty sure that you can see the Kawich Range on a clear day. The view to the north is quite extensive, but usually tainted by poor air quality. If you got a day with no air flow from the west, I'm guessing you'd be able to see 170mi+ to the north. Thanks for the comments!
Hey, glad you liked it. No P. longaeva or aristata here, as far as we all know. Wrong rock type, mostly. The military ownership of most of the peak curtails a lot of potential research, and the few pines that are there at altitude are quite dispersed.

Untitled CommentNice page. I didn't understand the "Get Real" segment. It's amazing how many ways 9-11 has affected our lives. Thanks for posting.

Untitled CommentThe whole "SP Police" schtick is a bit of an inside thing for the heavily active folks here at SP. I added some helpful references to the section.....

You did not write why this peak is off limits. I think this is important info that needs to be added

Untitled CommentI don't think I read close enouph. I noticed that in the "get there" section you mentioned that the military owns the mountain. Good enouph.
