windy peak, the back way, south red rock canyon

Assistant Organizer Martin "Marty" Leghart, Jr. led five 52ers to Windy Peak, The Back Way, on Saturday, December 20, 2014.  This route is mostly trail with a little bit of scrambling just before the peak.  The views at the peak are spectacular.  The expanse at the summit is impressive.  It's somewhat like the summat Mummy Mountain, a very flat and large area.  This is a great first hike for new members of the 52 Peak Club.  The elevation of Windy Peak is 6,200 feet.  Don't let this mostly trail hike fool you, due to the elevation and elevation gain of 1,600 feet of this hike you must be in good physical condition to do this hike. The trailhead is located off of Highway 160 between Las Vegas and Pahrump.  You turn right onto a dirt road just past Las Vegas Archers Spring Mountain Range on the left. kk
