I went on this hike to go to the summit of Peak 4053, the White Canyon Wilderness highpoint. While we were out there I figured that it would make sense to go ahead and hike to Lime Point as well.

Lime Point and Peak 4053 are about 10 miles south of the town of Superior. I parked at a pullout on Highway 177, about 1/2 mile NE of Lime Point.

We went to Lime Point first, and then made our way to Peak 4053 in the White Canyon Wilderness. Views at both summits were great, but I liked the views at Peak 4053 the best.

This was not the easiest terrain to hike. There were several hills and ridges to go over and come back down. On the way to Peak 4052 we gained a little over 1,000 feet in elevation, and then gained around 700 feet on the way back.

It should be a nice wildflower season in this area. It is a bit early yet, but we saw lots of desert anemone blooming, along with a few poppies.
