Mar 28, 2021 — Newberry Mountains High Point is situated in some of the least inspiring desert scenery I've ever seen. Although the hike to the summit is gradual on pleasant terrain and the route mostly follows a sandy wash, don't expect any gorgeous views. I parked in a big dirt lot accessible by any vehicle and headed north into a wash that wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be. Since it's so wide, there are many watercourses so it's a bit difficult to stay in the correct one, and I kept wanting to get pushed too far to the west. Make sure you're going north and it should be fine. The wash did become clear once it started to narrow, and it led to the southern base of Newberry Mountains High Point, where I picked a section of the slope and ascended. The last few hundred feet got a little more rocky, and there was some light Class 2 toward the steepest section just below the summit.
