Guardian Peak

The Guardian Peak is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. It can be found next to Camp Guardian and south-southeast of Ranger Station Bravo.

Background
A group of NCR soldiers was sent by a New California Republic survey team to clear the old hiking trails and establish a base of observation. The soldiers were under the command of Sergeant Banner who efficiently led the reclamation of the area. They immediately faced difficulties requisitioning a radio and proper supplies such as Cateye. By the fifth day of this effort, a soldier named Jackson began to report strange noises like howling in the darkness. Banner dismissed these reports early on, blaming it on the wind or a pre-existing condition of Jackson's until he himself started hearing splashes down in the water. In their rock blasting to create the trails, they uncovered a cave which led straight into the mountain. The sergeant was not informed of any caves by the survey team and blamed them for not catching this during the initial survey. A team was sent in which included Private Halford to explore the caves.

Layout
The peak itself is devoid of NCR soldiers, but is populated with numerous giant rats and several 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.

Notable loot

 * Camp Guardian daily logs - one on the stairs going to the radio, one at the top of the stairs, one by the chair near the lookout post and one stuck on a bush near the steps. There is also one near a Jalapeño plant/tree looking south onto the water.
 * A Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap near the radio by the campfire.

Behind the scenes
The entire Camp Guardian sequence was designed by Rob Lee. Log page 20 blames someone named Burke from the original survey team for not having noticed caves that could contain dangerous creatures.

Appearances
Guardian Peak appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
