This was a fun little peak to break in the New Year with @lindaagm. I really like the rugged little challenge this desert peak offers, along with its views and lack of visitors.

The trail is in much better shape than last year, with some newly reclaimed switchbacks and freshly cleared paths through what was previsiouly overgrown (the work of @chumley). However, one might have had to see this trail before the maintenance work to truly appreciate. Great temps all day and even a little chilly on top. Some great views too, probably capped by a snow covered Mt. Lemon. I did step us off the trail a few times, but mainly due to not paying attention, the trail/route is pretty well established. A standard trip down, a little slow and meticulous at first, but a pretty qucik trip back to the trailhead overall.
