May 03, 2018 — From the dirt road leading to the Mormon Mountains Wilderness trailhead, park and continue along the road until it opens up into a sandy area. From here, find the wash and head up toward Moapa Peak, which looms above for the duration of the route. The canyon starts to narrow, and eventually you may run into cairns leading the way to the canyon head, where a ridge brings you to the west side of Moapa Peak. You can zigzag and avoid Class 3 stuff along this ridge, but it's all pretty straighforward stuff. Once you get to the top of the ridge, cairns lead you to the south side of Moapa Peak. You'll be going to the east side of the peak before ascending to the pretty knife-edge leading to the summit.
