| no partners | | Been meaning to check these out for awhile.
I parked at the end of 12 street and started the CCW FR/wash walk to get to the off trail climb. The climb up wasn't all that bad. It was easy to dodge the prickly stuff. The East Ruins were more impressive than I expected. The far west wall was close to 6' tall.

From here I thought I'd attempt to ride the ridge line down. There is a well worn path for quite a distance. I headed west until I lost the path and then headed south down the peak. (Based on the post hike satellite view, I should have dropped to the North)
I can't recommend the path I took down. The standing cholla was easy enough to avoid, but the cholla balls on the ground were near impossible to avoid.
I made my way over to the west ruins with a bit of off trail and some FR's.
The path up to the west ruins was extremely easy to follow. Motorcycles have worn a path most of the way up. I did not expect much up here, but once again, this one was much more extensive than I'd expected. A couple of walls up top and to the south, but quite a few lower on the top to the north.

The rest of the hike was FR's getting back to my vehicle. With a capable 4wd vehicle, the climb to these 2 peaks could be very short. Perfect weather, I didn't pass a single person all day. |
