On my fourth and final day at Joshua Tree NP, I had a change of plans and decided to go home by way of Salton Sea and Yuma instead of by way of Parker. After breaking camp at Belle, I headed toward Cottonwood and decided to do this hike. I parked in Loop A of the campground and did it as an out and back versus loop. Explored a little around the old millsite at Winona and over by the Mastodon Mine on the way to the peak. This was a very pleasant easy hike, much of it in a wash, with a short scramble to the peak. Joshua Tree is a wonderful park!
