  • John Muir once said "the mountains are calling and I must go". This montra has fueled my lifelong wonderlust. I was born and raised in Las Vegas and always dreamed of climbing each mountain peak that forms the sky line. These peaks have haunted me, beckoned me, and dared me to try their mite. Gass peak imparticilar has called to me like a forbidden siren. My great friend Paul W and I developed a plan to summit Gass peak a year ago. There are some Web sites that provide detailed and easy to follow directions to get to the trailhead and ultimately, the summit. We researched as much as we could and set a date. With perfect weather and an early start, a long time goal was about to be reached. The 95 to the corn creek turn off was well marked. The road to the ranger station was newly paved. This turns to a rocky dirt road that provides appropriate signage. Take the Mormon wells road to Gass peak road. The mountains and rock formations along the way are visually spectacular and resemble beautiful anger as different minerals and rock have battled for turf rights millions of years ago. Like a great rock/earth battle field, you will quickly forget Las Vegas is 40 or so minutes away. The trailhead is obvious. It's a service road that you will need to follow to the right. You can gaze upon the summit from the start. It will call to you and taunt you along the way. There are multiple steep stretches of trail and very few flat ones. You travel along the spine of a prehistoric ridgeline that holds on to the view of the LV valley tightly. As you ascend the trail the valley quickly drops and provides a vast view of the diverse and impressive landscape. The top gets closer and the trail gets steeper. I would recommend some training before you take the 3.1 mile trail up around 1700 feet. Also water, lots of water. The summit has a large Antena and building with some big solar panels to absorb the plentiful sun and fuel the comm needs of the valley below. There is a nice area to unload, stretch out and take in the great accomplishment of making it to the top. My friend, Paul W and I have made many hikes and summits and loaded down our packs to train hard so that we may hunt easy for this particular adventure. As with any summit, it's euphoric to stand atop a mountain and gaze down into the valley below. This summit was even more so gratifying due to the fact I've been looking at this peak for my entire life. We ate at the summit and replenished our fuel and enjoyed the view for an hour or two. 360 degrees of great views almost overwhelmed our senses. With great sadness we had to head down and release our grip of the summit victory. The decent back into the valley is equally as beautiful and changes around every draw and corner. Be careful on the steep parts. The trail is well marked and ranges from limestone to jagged rock to sandstone to a volcanic wonderland. It is well worth the effort and a hike I will never forget.
