Guardian Peak

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland. It is next to Camp Guardian and south-southeast of Ranger Station Bravo.

Background
Guardian Peak is the highest point on the mountain, where NCR Troopers had been assigned to establish a vantage point to watch Lake Mead and any Legion activity.

Exterior
The peak itself is void of NCR soldiers, but is populated with 2-3 Giant rats and several bark scorpions. A sleeping mat is near the Ham radio emitting the radio signal. However, the nearby cave system, Camp Guardian Caves, contains the dead NCR troopers that were stationed at Camp Guardian and an unmarked quest.

Camp Guardian Caves
This area is a large network of tunnels and a few large open areas with three entrances, one at the peak, one halfway up the mountain by some picnic tables and a grenade range, and the last is an underwater entrance from Lake Mead. The cave is inhabited with 15-20 Lakelurks and a Lakelurk king. The easiest way to clear the caves is to sneak and snipe the Lakelurks from a reasonable distance. Having Boone as your companion makes this even easier. The bodies and equipment of the NCR Troopers can be found littered throughout the first couple areas and passages. A nice amount of C-4 plastic explosives can be found immediately after entering the cave from the Peak entrance. Following the passages will lead you to the injured Private Halford. With a high enough Medicine skill (50) or a Doctor's bag, the Courier can heal the Private who will follow you through the cave system or can be led out of the cave. Halford can be convinced to help deal with the remaining Lakelurks if the player passes a Speech Check (50) however he can be killed easily by the Lakelurks so this may not be a wise decision. The largest number of Lakelurks are found in the area with the King, egg clutches, and the half dozen dead NCR Troopers.

Notable loot

 * Camp Guardian Notes - one on the stairs going to the radio, one near the radio, and one stuck on a bush near the steps.
 * C-4 plastic explosives - inside the cave from the peak entrance.
 * Schematics - Dog tag fist - on the body of Private Halford.

Bugs
You may enter the caves and not really enter them. Even the Pip-boy light and the night scope remained dark. Tried reloading, yet only thing I could do was leave the cave.

Confirmed on PC as well

If this happens face the enterance which is the only well lit area so you should see it no problem if you look around. When facing the enterance back away from it so you are heading deeper in to the caves, after you go about 5 meters or so it should sort itself out

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
