 Overview map of the hike |
 Out of the initial washes, view across gradual upslope. We cut right gradually to drop into Lovell Wash; these peaks are all on W side of wash |
 View back over terrain we traversed |
 View UP can as we enter the cliffier section of Lovell Wash. We just dropped into the wash from the left a short time back. |
 Crystal starts up the smaller wash to ridge |
 View back down the bouldery side wash |
 This is the dryfall. One can work around it by going climber's left. |
 View up to ridgeline |
 Crystal works around some minor dryfalls. |
 View back SW, to mountains on the other side of Lovell Canyon. We are nearly at ridgeline. |
 Now we're on the ridge, and I'm looking SSE. |
 Same direction, zoom to Sentinel, Pinnacle and Pyramid |
 View of Spring Mountains in clouds |

 Back in Lovell Wash, heading SE. Note Crystal in front of huge boulder. |
 From the intersection of Lake Mead BLVD (there is another Lake Mead DRIVE on south side of city!) and Northshore Rd, head left (N) and go 10 miles along Northshore Rd. Then turn left (a tight windy gravel road descends to the wash.) |
 A) After leaving pavement,
set odometer to 0. B) At 0.8 miles, bear gradually right. C) At 1.2 miles, keep left -- do not take the roads that head east-ish (eventually) D) At 2.8 mile, stay right, head NW E) At 4.3 miles park at wilderness boundary. |
 This is the first part of the hike, to where it actually drops into and starts up Lovell Wash. The next map is not continuous with this one, leaving out some travel up the wash. |
 After walking up the main channel. make this critical turn up a rocky side wash. NOTE scale change. |
