Notes:
Turtlehead Peak Hike
Location: Red Rock
Elev: 6,323
Trail Length: 5 miles
Date: June 2, 2002
Good training hike. Decent distance, but not too punishing. You got some length of steep trail, but no death defying climbing. And then you got the nice open views from the top while the birds swoop down at high speeds and try to take the beef jerky and Chewys.
