An ace called Spade by DixieFlyer  Overview Spade Peak 4090 (elevation of 4,090' and prominence of 470') is in the Harcuvar Mountains in west-central Arizona. Hike This hike is entirely off-trail, although it is not too difficult as far as off-trail hiking goes. From the parking area, you'll see a rock outcropping on a sub-peak to the north. It is best to go to your right and go around the east side of this rock outcropping. You'll want to get on a ridgeline on the north side of the rock outcropping. The going is a bit steep getting to the ridgeline, but things get much easier once on the ridgeline. Once on the ridgeline, stay on the left side of a fence on the ridgeline. As you get close to the peak, the fence goes off to your right; at this point, you are not far from the summit, so make the reasonably easy walk to get to the summit. After enjoying the 360-degree views, return the way that you came to get back to your car. Synopsis This is a nice peak to summit, but given the area's remoteness, you probably don't want to go all the way out there just to do this short hike. Thus, most hikers will do some other hiking in the area. Good choices include Smith Peak, the Bullard Benchmark, Bullard Peak, and the Bullard Mine complex. Check out the Official Route and Triplog.
