Feb 12, 2019 — Mt. Tipton is the highest point in the Cerbat Mountains, and it's been on my to-do list forever. Really, the route isn't particularly fun. I was concerned to take my car to the upper trailhead, so I parked about a half mile before the road ends at a wilderness register. Head up a dirt road that leads to some old wooden fencing near Indian Springs, and continue along the heavily eroded road until it curves away from Mt. Tipton. From here, walk through the desert and drop into a wash that hugs a big hill on your right. This wash leads to the saddle just west of Mt. Tipton. Take the ridgeline up to the summit and expect to get a little scratched up. If you're doing any sketchy scrambling, there's an easier way. I took two slightly different routes to get to the summit, so I altered my attached map to combine the best options of my ascent/descent. The views are a bit obscured by trees on the summit.
