We'll move at a slow pace each day; however, each peak will require a strenuous effort, and although the routes will be restricted to Class 2 scrambling, comfort on steep and loose, rocky and thorny cross-country terrain is required. Saturday morning we'll get an early start and head into the "Nopah Range" Wilderness Area located along the eastern range bordering Chicago Valley; first we'll warm up by trudging across a broad alluvial fan, then we'll make our way up through a sometimes tight and rocky canyon before getting up onto a steep and loose, rocky and thorny ridgeline that will bring us up onto the narrow and rocky summit ridge, which we'll ascend to the summit of Pahrump Point. After thoroughly enjoying the reportedly exquisite views up there, we'll return the way we came in for a day's total of 8 RT mi with 3,400' gain. We'll make camp where we're parked and will celebrate the weekend under a nearly full moon sky with a traditional DPS Potluck Happy Hour. Sunday we'll head over to the nearby "Resting Spring Range" Wilderness Area located along the western range bordering Chicago Valley, and will once again venture out across the alluvium, up into a tight and rocky canyon before ascending steep and loose, rocky ridgelines to the summit of Stewart Point. We'll return the way we came for a day's total of 6.5 RT miles with 2,600' of gain. Feel free to join us for one or both days. This is a DPS Outing co-sponsored by HPS.
