This was my second trip to Silver Peak this year. I enjoyed the hike and the view so much the first time that when I had coworkers from India visit I asked them if they would like to go on this hike with me. I didn't take as many pictures this time so please visit my last hike for more pictures too.
The hike up was difficult, but, everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment and enjoyed the view from the top while we ate our lunch.
Topo map available.
