Tuffaceous Aureate Crown

Overview
A northerly located summit that distinguishes itself from the other peaks in the area because of its yellow hue with narrower dark striations. It definitely catches the eye and is about as remote a golden dome as possible.


Hike
Find a way to the Pedestal Arch via Cottonwood Wash to the south or one of the trailheads to the east, e.g. Triple Arch TH. From the broad saddle north of this small arch, ascend west and eventually traverse the ridges northwest. The southwestern aspects seemed less brushy than the northeast. Once at the final saddle before the peak, one may climb (cl.3) the direct east side official route or descend slightly left, traversing the base to access the easier southwest ridge scramble.
