Peak 2677 as seen from where I parked

Approaching the lower ridges

Midway up, gets rockier

Most of the way up, rockier and steeper but still quite tame

Rounding a bend, I see the peak

Now I get a fine view of the peak. Oh no, rocky cliffs. Will I make it?

In the saddle now, looking up at the peak

Summit rocks. I made it!

Looking back from where I came

West view, Estrella Benchmark peak

Peak 1950

The summit appears as I ascend the slope

Summit thereof

Look over at Peak 2046

North. That cleft-peak is Peak 2677

Maricopa Mountains highpoint

As I exited, a train came rumbling by. The Movable Frog thing I had to look up. It's a real thing
