| no partners | | Note: I hiked this peak in conjunction with Recoil peak which is nearby. My stats below are based on BOTH peaks.
There were my #2 and #3 hikes of the day. There were nicely maintained trails to both peaks from Speedway Rd.
I found a good sign with a trail map along the trail I took down from the Bactrian summit. These trails are apparently part of Painted Hills Trails Park.
There was a nice bench on the top of Bactrian summit and a stone spiral, often called a labyrinth, on the top of Recoil. I didn't see any registries and didn't feel the need to leave one on either peak.
