Add Madison and Rose to the hiking partners on this one.

We headed up for sunset via an old road/trail on the west side that leads up the draw to the saddle.

There is an alternate route that goes up an old road along the southwest ridge to the south peak.

The south peak is treeless and features the best views. The northwest and northeast peaks are pine covered and feature limited views. The ridge and canyon that run due north feature cool hoodoos and nice views of Kendrick and Government Prairie. (If you look closely you can even see the mall parking lot sometimes referred to Lava River Tube just a mile away.)

Nice flowers on the south peak.

I wouldn't drive from Phoenix to hike this, but if you are camping less than a mile away for whatever reason, it's a must. :)
