Headed down to the old pueblo to meet up with Matt and hike this peak as he hadn't done it in a while, and it was entirely new for me. I had it on my wish list for a long time, so I'm glad I got it done. Interesting, and the summit views were fantastic, but this is just not likely to be a favorite for me. It is, in typical Rincon fashion, very long and feels like it is mostly approach.

We had perfect weather for this, and it was certainly much smarter and far more pleasant than attempting to hike a long exposed trail on a 90+ degree day! Lots of Hummingbirds and Scrub Jays, and one snake siting, too. Often, I felt like I was over in the Catalinas, which makes sense as the rock and vegetation is nearly identical, if it isn't. Even the summit, with it's nearby wind carved pillars and semi-hoodoos had a Window Peak feel to it.
