Klothos Temple - Muggins Mountain Wilderness
I hiked up to the 1,665-foot summit of Klothos Temple in the Muggins Mountain Wilderness. It is located about 25 miles east of Yuma. On my first attempt at hiking up Klothos Temple I had turned around because of exhaustion. But this time I conquered the mountain and reached the summit. I began my hike at about 290 elevation, and the ascent was about 1,371 feet. My hike was 5.9 miles round trip, and it took me 5 hours and 12 minutes.
I camped close to Klothos Temple. |
