Mummy Mountain

This is the route to the summit of the highest peak of Mummy Mountain, called Mummy's Tummy. It starts from the Trail Canyon Trailhead and can be broken into 4 sections: Trail Canyon- a steady climb of about 1500 feet over 2 miles to the intersection with the North Loop. North Loop - a slightly more gradual climb across the length of the mountain. The Scree Slope - a very steep hill of loose gravel with no clear path. This is the hardest part of the hike with an elevation gain of approximately 700 feet with inclines around 50% and very poor footing. Class 3 scrambling the entire time. Final ascent, hiking across the base of the upper cliffs to a short but steep and technical class 3/4 rock chute that arrives at the summit. From the summit there are views of the Las Vegas valley, Mt. Charleston, Griffith Peak, Angel Peak and hundreds of miles in all directions. This trail is for experienced hikers. It is physically and technically challenging. Be sure to bring food and hydration. At a quick pace it can take around 4.5 hours but the average hiker should plan on 6-8 hours round trip.
