Mount Wilson Attempt, Red Rock Canyon, Nevada

Via First Creek and the Hidden Bowl

(We turned around from the Hidden Bowl when we heard thunders and thunderheads were building up fast to the southwest . After many 'thundering' adventures in Colorado's Rockies we do not take any more chances with lightning. The temperatures were in the 90s, but we enjoyed the spring atmosphere and beauty of First Creek Canyon anyways.)
