Note: I did this peak in conjunction with Eureka and Rattlesnake peak. It was very difficult to get to this peak from Rattlesnake peak as there was no trail.

Warning: From Rattlesnake peak, Peak 7303 was only something like 0.95 air miles away but it took about 5 HOURS to do the roundtrip from Rattlesnake peak to Peak 7303 and back!!

The Eureka canyon trail was a pretty good trail but I did see a lot of migrant trash in some areas. I followed that trail East/Southeast from Rattlesnake peak and it was easy to follow for a while. I saw an old collapsed building near an unnamed peak which was roughly where I needed to turn and hike South/Southwest to get to Peak 7303. The peak was about 0.5 air miles away but there's a significant drop to get to the saddle below.

The old collapsed building was near this point: 31.421548, -110.3629

It was a rugged and steep bushwhack to get to the saddle North of Peak 7303. I had to weave A LOT because there were some cliffs that I needed to go around. After getting to the saddle, I could relax a bit. I found a very steep use trail on the North side of Peak 7303 which I followed to the top. At the top there were some huge boulders heading to the West side where the high point was. I found a registry at the top which I signed. See my trip report for Eureka for more details and stats!
