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. After a successful climb up the northwest side I arrived on the 3,195-foot summit at 11:36 AM. I was 1.9 miles from the Meridian Road trailhead. Next, I headed down the southeast side, and arrived at the saddle at 12:34 AM. That was 0.8 miles from the peak. From there I headed down a social trail to the Gold Link Trail, and back to my car. 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.
