-------------
This peak is just South of the Redemption Center. I started from Picture Rocks road and hiked past the semi-famous petroglyphs. After that I curved left, exited the wash and did an easy class 1 & 2 scramble to the top. There are some homes surrounding this peak, and this peak appears to technically be on private property, registered as Final Vision LLC. I didn't see any "no trespassing" signs anywhere and I don't believe anyone noticed that I was even there.
Either way, thank you to the property owners for being flexible with the hiking community.
Peak 2852:
------------
This was my second peak of the day. After summiting peak 2652, South of the redemption center, I found a way to walk South and East through the large private lots and I don't believe I was even seen by anyone because of the layout of the land. The entire time I did not see any 'no trespassing' signs.
I intersected a road here: 32.316222 -111.116349, which I believe was a private road but there were no signs anywhere that I walked. I continued West on that road until I crossed into the Saguaro National park boundary (unmarked). From there I took some of the old roads going through the Yuma mine area. I've always thought this was an interesting place. I can never forget my ghost encounter in this area one August evening after dark... Then, I hiked South to the saddle West of peak 2741. Near this saddle I found a use trail heading SW and down which I took to get to the saddle North of peak 2852. From there I hiked up through the rocky areas of 2852. There were channels and I needed to zig-zag a bit, but nothing over class 2. At the summit, I didn't find a registry and didn't bring a jar with me either this time. There were some nice views of the city and surrounding area from the top.
On the way down I took a slightly different route. I eventually ran into the Cactus Canyon trail which I took to the Picture Rocks Wash trail and then back to my starting point.
