Griffith Peak is Nevada's 43rd highest peak and offers some of the best views in Southern Nevada; you get fantastic views of the neighboring Mount Charleston and the surrounding peaks as well as down into the Las Vegas Valley. There are also some old bristlecone pines, which are some of the longest-lived trees in the world, as well as an interesting fossil on the limestone summit. Griffith Peak's exposed summit is a great place to rest, drink water, snap some photos, and sign the summit register, before heading back down or over to the neighboring Mount Charleston.
