Trailblazing to Mt. Scorpion

Our trail founder David just celebrated another milestone event with his marriage to Heidi. He is still doing wonderful things!

Getting up on Mt. Scorpion! Hope you all enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving!

Let's do this!

Calling all Scorpions! You won't want to miss the Mount Scorpion Hike this Saturday. Registration begins at 9 a.m. Everyone is welcome! This is a chance to connect with your fellow students and President Patterson.

When was the last time you hiked Mt. Scorpion? Did you sign it at the top?

Dave's Eagle Project was very rewarding. Hopefully the NSC students, faculty, staff and entire surounding community enjoy this awesome tradition for years to come!

cairn

/kern/

noun

1. a mount of stones built as a trail marker or memorial, typically on a mountaintop, along the skyline, or beside a trail or path.

Come help us finish David's eagle project on Saturday at 8 am--and this is the fun part! We'll actually be hiking Mr. Scorpion!

In February, for the first phase, we marked the trail from the campus to the base of the mountain. For this last phase we will (1) build rock cairn's to mark the trail along the way from the base to the top, and (2) carry a "sign in" box to the peak so future climbers can leave their park at the summit.

Thank you for supporting this good Boy Scout AND for helping develop this awesome NSC hiking tradition. Prove you were there and be one of the first to sign in at the top!

The time has come! This Saturday at 8am, we will be meeting in the parking lot behind the Roger's building at NSC. The morning activities will consist of a hike to the top of Mount Scorpion were we will be placing a "sign in box" for those who hiked the mountain to leave their mark. It would be great if you could come show your school spirit and support the NSC community.

Here are driving directions and maps to the Nevada State College campus. To get there, take the I-215, east bound, and then head south at the I-515 toward’s Boulder City. Take Exit #56. Turn south (right) onto Nevada State Drive.

Mt. Scorpion is located to the south of the Nevada State College campus in Southern Henderson, out by Mission Hills. The mountain is named after the College’s mascot, the Scorpion!

Today's the day! See you at 8:30am at the College, back behind the Rogers building. For those scouts and friends carpooling, please be on time so we can leave the Maryland/Serene building at 8am sharp!

It's time! This coming Saturday, February 20th, at 8:30 am, students, faculty, staff, and others in the community are meeting to mark the trail leading to Mount Scorpion! We appreciate your service to the Nevada State College community. It is anticipated that the weather will be great and the project will take no more than two hours. Remember, many hands make light work. Please post any questions here. Thank you!
