Las Vegas Mountaineers Club

The annual LVMC holiday party is a time to put down your ice axe and cams for a beer and slice of ham. Chat & hang out with your fellow mountaineers to talk about the epic days of 2024 and what's the most prominent peak you plan to climb next year. The club will provide the ham but we'll need some side dishes and desserts from you to make it a feast! We'll have water & soft drinks but please bring your adult beverage(s). We'll also have some awards for those over-achieving mountaineers in the club as well as a raffle to win some fabulous prizes. We will have several games, and have prizes for the winners! We will also have a trail mix/bar contest. So bring your favorite snack, and the winner will get a prize!

The party will take place at the Baugh residence in the west central part of town. The location will be emailed to those who RSVP the week of the event. You must be a current, paid member to attend. You can obtain a membership via this link: http://www.lvmc.org/w... (http://www.lvmc.org/webpages/lvmcjoinus.html). The fee is $20 per year for a family/roommates or $15 per year for an individual. Please contact your organizer if you have any questions. Hope to see you there!

Let's get out the day after the LVMC Holiday Party, and burn off a few calories! This hike will be exploratory and somewhat spontaneous in itinerary. The plan is to hike some relatively minor peaks just south of Hwy 160. Tentatively, I would like to hit Peak 4496, Peak 5120, Cottonwood Peak North, Cottonwood Peak, and Escarpment Peak. If time and/or energy runs short, we may abbreviate it a bit.

We will park just off the highway, so most any vehicle will do.

This is a trip to summit 3 peaks south of Vegas - Peak 4027, Peak 3934, and Peak 4360.

The plan is to Drive to the pass south of Peak 4027, and park there (high clearance vehicles recommended). From there we'll head up to Peak 4027, traverse over to Peak 3934, then return to the vehicles. From there we'll head out to Peak 4360 along the ridge and return the same way.

I have not hiked these before, so this trip is exploratory.
