Itinerary description

The beginning is mild and later on the slope turns more aggressive.   The Trail is marked well with White/red and sometimes even arrows, nevertheless ,at some point I lost the marking  and decided to simply climb up in a straight line and re converged with the Trail and markings.     On the way down the Trail is much more easier to observe and follow.The views of Las Vegqs at the top are awesome,     At the peak of turtlehead there is a box with souvenirs and paper notes the hikers leave.
