Temptation Peak - Goldfield Mountains

I began my hike at 10:03 AM. This was my first time doing the loop clockwise, and my first time ascending Temptation Peak from the northwest side. The southeast side is easier.

I got back at my car at 1:30 PM. My loop hike was 4.6 miles, and it took me 3 hours and 25 minutes.
