Griffith Peak

Griffith Peak is a mountain summit in the Spring Mountains that rises to one of the highest elevations in Southern Nevada. The surrounding terrain features rocky slopes and forested areas that gradually shift with changing altitude.

The peak became accessible to hikers during the 20th century as trails were developed throughout the Spring Mountains. This construction was part of a larger effort to open the region for outdoor recreation and exploration.

Local hiking groups regularly gather here to climb together and share their mountain knowledge, forming a tight community of outdoor enthusiasts.

The main route is accessible via an established trail system that suits different skill levels and fitness abilities. Start your hike early in the day and bring layers of clothing since weather conditions change rapidly at elevation.

On clear days the summit offers views of distant landmarks far beyond the immediate mountain range that most visitors do not anticipate. These unexpectedly vast vistas reveal the scale of the surrounding landscape in a surprising way.
