Heading southwest under the River Mountains Trail loop.

Traversing the desert and entering a wash, Long View Peak visible center.

Looking back down the drainage system we came up that became hills before dropping into the main wash.

Within the main wash just southeast of Long View Peak.


Some Class obstacles and pretty canyon scenery.

A junction, Long View Peak visible on the right. We kept right up a minor drainage.

Heading up the minor drainage, Long View Peak visible center right. The left hump looked taller, but it wasn't.

Class 2+ as we ascend our drainage choice.

Looking back down our drainage on the ascent to Long View Peak. Lake Mead visible in the distance.

Class 2 stuff up to the minor saddle to the west of the summit.

Steep toward the top just before the saddle.

At the saddle, looking back down the way we came.

Summit just ahead.

Long View Peak summit, view northeast toward Lake Mead.

We went back to the saddle and began descending this obvious northwest drainage.

It's steep and loose, but nothing crazy. If you stay in the main drainage you'll hit a dryfall. Just before it on the right is a better descent option.

Continuing down after avoiding the dryfall.

Looking back up the way we came. The dryfall would have brought us down on the right, whereas our descent took us down on the left.

Following a major wash for a while.

Looking back toward Long View Peak and some interesting conglomerate rock features.

Another shot within the wash looking back toward Long View Peak.


A teaser for White Owl Canyon.

The narrows of White Owl Canyon.

Following the trail back to the trailhead.

Back at the trailhead, looking north along the White Owl Canyon Trail and the nice desert sunset.
