Lovely graffiti along the Goldstrike Canyon Trail.

Goldstrike Canyon opens up around halfway down and you get a view of Hoover Peak on the left. The junction for Hoover Peak (head left) and Goldstrike Mountain (head right) is coming up.

There are a few bumps between Hoover Dam Bridge Overlook and Goldstrike Mountain.

A dubious Class 3 downclimb to get off the third bump, just before ascending to Goldstrike Mountain.
