near Valley of Fire, Nevada

trip report by editor Rick McCharles

I set up camp here …

near Valley of Fire, Nevada

Hopped on my mountain bike, heading for the hills.

Civilization? A long abandoned dam:

near Valley of Fire, Nevada

I jumped off my bike upon reaching this rock formation, perfect for scrambling.

Summit Stone is atop the highest point of this formation.

Atop the highest point, this guy, seemingly a madman, placed a Summit Stone. Will anyone ever find it?

What a terrific outdoor adventure. No hiking guidebook needed.
