Frenchman Mountain is the highest peak in the valley. The trail is very steep and has numerous razorbacks requiring a short wheel base - perfect for jeeps. You may need lockers to overcome the loose rocks about mid way up the mountain. Once at the top, you will enjoy a view of the strip most people have not seen before.
Directions
Head east on Lake Mead Blvd to GPS Point.
