The summit and the whole ridge we would follow, as viewed from the first hilltop above the parking area

A tad closer in

View west from the summit. Copper Butte is the double hump closer in with the roads all over it

View southwest: The Spine, Grayback, and Newman Peak way in back

Me, with Teapot Mountain in back

The Ray Mine, with Scott Mountain in back, and Pinal Peak way in back

View of the summit from the lower eastern bump. That is Matthias standing on top

South view of the range
