arrow canyon range

[goofball]

~1 hour north of las vegas east of hwy 93 the arrow canyon range is visible as a steep uprising punctuated by breaks giving access to the ridge line and washes below. it looks daunting from the 93, but heading up the draws really is easy, but a little strenuous. some really nice banding wiggles along its length making for interesting contrasts. since mid january it has been averaging around 60 here, w/ a notable exception last week w/ cooler temps and nasty wind chill. today was a pleasant 70 degree day and it smells great in the mojave ! damn ticks are coming out tho.

Looks pretty desolate.
Now's the perfect time to hike, I bet it gets crispy there in the summer.

See any desert bighorn sheep?

Nice photos.

Arrow Canyon itself is a pretty neat walk though. Soaring limestone walls and wild petroglyphs. Some rock climbing and some issues related to climbing and the BLM, land owner, etc.

Rumor has the house/property on the east side is/was for sale?

Arrow Canyon itself is filled with some impressive petroglyph's.

thanks. never been to arrow canyon proper for exactly those access issues. prefer the tons of places to go where i have absolutely no hassle at all.

Looks like a fun hike. Has anyone seen a rattlesnake from this range? I'm trying to figure out if Panamint rattlesnakes make it that far east.
