Starting along the Rainbow Vista Trail.

Leaving the Rainbow Vista Trail, headed south. Cairn Peak the obvious thing in this photo.

Gully I took to get up visible in the center.

Looking down the gully back the way I came.


Top of the gully, some Class 2+ scrambling.

The route drops into a notch, then back up the other side.

Class 3 section on the right, just below the summie.

Cairn Peak summit, looking east toward Silica Dome.

Cairn Peak summit looking southwest toward Valley of Fire Peak.

View north toward Rainbow Vista Trailhead.

Back along the Rainbow Vista Trail, heading along with the masses to the overlook spot. The trail diverges for a short time, forming a small mini-loop.


The trail enters a minor canyon.

The canyon narrows up slightly, forming some pretty walls around the Rainbow Vista Trail.




Rainbow Vista Overlook down into Fire Canyon Wash.
