The Frenchman

The Frenchman

We decided to hike up The Frenchman. It's the huge mountain next to our house. We thought it was called Sunrise Mountain, but that is the mountain on the other side of the road. It's about eight miles long, but it's really steep and has a lot of loose rock. The view at the top showcases the whole Las Vegas valley though so it was worth the trip up.

Starting out

 We reached what we thought was the top, only to see this! We debated just turning around, but I couldn't let us see the top without making it to the top!

Halfway point. The top of the Frenchman in the background.

Sunrise Mountain across the road.

We made it! Look at that view!

You can just make out the temple below us.

 I think once was enough for that hike, because the trail was awful. The view was beautiful, but I'm pretty sure we won't be going back.
