Spirit Mountain, Sacred mountain in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada
Spirit Mountain rises to 5,639 feet in elevation, featuring granite slopes and multiple hiking routes through the desert landscape near Laughlin.
The mountain received federal protection when President Biden established the Avi Kwa Ame National Monument in March 2023, preserving 506,814 acres of land.
Known as Avi Kwa Ame in Mojave language, the mountain represents the central creation point for Yuman-speaking tribes of the American Southwest.
The trailhead begins at Christmas Tree Pass, requiring hikers to navigate a 4-mile path with 2,385 feet of elevation gain to reach the summit.
From the mountain peak, visitors observe Lake Mohave, the Spring Mountains, Clark Mountain, and the Colorado River flowing through the desert below.
