May 07, 2021 — Zion View Peak is a minor summit south of its much larger neighbor, West Mountain Peak. I initially intended to hike a big loop that would encompass West Mountain Peak with others in its vicinity, but the brush on my attempt was awful-looking, resulting in me walking up that peak's road (drive-up for 4WD). Afterward I looked toward Zion View Peak, which was a nice consolation hike for the drive out to this area, the trailhead of which is accessible by any vehicle. I started south directly up the peak's ridge crest and followed it more-or-less, keeping just to the right on animal trails when it became slightly too brushy for my taste. Some minor Class 2 toward the summit led to surprisingly nice views to the south into the Mojave. Despite being called Zion View Peak, Zion National Park is too far away to see anything of much interest.
