Ascent of Wheeler Peak on 2011-07-31| Others in Party: | Cheryl Hubbard | | Date: | Sunday, July 31, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Wheeler Peak | | Location: | USA-Nevada | | Elevation: | 13063 ft / 3981 m |
Ascent Trip ReportWe hiked from the Wheeler Campground TH (mainly because there are restrooms there and none at the Summit TH), and took about 5 hours to get to the Peak, with a stop for lunch and about 200 photo stops. Snow covering the trail near the top caused us to have to do a rock scramble. we weren't to sure about trying it at all until some other hikers came along and showed the way. Hiked down in about 2.5 hours and then toured Lehman Caves. Nice full day. Cheryl was really sore for a couple of days!
