Скачать или смотреть Mount Limbo - Nevada Desert

Mount Limbo is a very remote mountain peak located about 2 and a half hours' drive from Reno, Nevada, situated in the middle of the desert, miles away from human habitation. The summit block is particularly impressive - a tiny granite pedestal, no more than a foot or two wide, provides a panorama of desert wasteland in all directions.

I decided to drive out to Reno, Nevada from my nest in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Labor Day weekend, to see what this peak is all about. I found Reno to be a cool place to visit. No cool in terms of temperature, though - it was 95 out and I was sweltering.

I woke up early the next morning and got to the trailhead right as the sun's first morning rays painted the desert peaks across the valley. Sparing no time, I scrambled up some slopes and made it to the Limbo ridgeline proper.

The highlight of the excursion was the tiny summit pinnacle with endless vistas as far as the eye can see. One thing I love about these desert peaks is the sense of space you get. A very cool peak to climb indeed.
