WTA is a nonprofit that needs you

We're just as excited as you to get the summer hiking season started. We're psyched our website, app and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit that runs on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this site this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone. Thank you and happy hiking!

Hiking Esmeralda Peak (Esmerelda)

Esmeralda Peaks has four high points with two main summits, the highest of which is the farthest western peak. The approach to Esmeralda is along the Boulder–DeRoux Trail. Scrambling to the summit from a southern approach is quite moderate.

Leave the De Roux trail after the house sized boulder at the last switchback at 5600' and head up the hill side. Class 2. Climbers will find some minor bushwhacking, or they can further west for a boulder field alternative.
