So, this is going to be a short post, for a short hike, that we decided to do at the last minute. Specifically, East Peak is a peak on the south end of the red rock peaks. To get the peak requires a quick little approach hike and a lovely scramble up 1500 feet over 3 miles.
It was a quick trip because this hike also happened to be on Super Bowl Sunday and we all had plans to watch the game. So, for that reason, there aren't many pictures.

| Because this peak is so far south in Red Rock, the view from the top is quite a bit different than most other peaks that I've done so far. |
The hike itself wasn't anything too terribly exciting. It was a bit stressful at times because lots of the rocks that we scrambled up were a little slanted and it sort of felt like the mountain was trying to throw you off of it. Not exactly a comforting feeling. However, I had good sticky shoes on my feet and I had great, helpful, encouraging friends with me. I was in good hands =)

This is definitely one of the shorter hikes that I've done with Hiking Las Vegas, but it was super enjoyable and had a couple of challenging spots. Most of the challenge was mental because of the slanted rocks, but, as the Beatles said, I g[o]t by with a little help from my friends. =)
