Red Hill at dawn

The summit appears after I round a bend

At the top, looking south at Humphreys

Northwest view, SP Crater and associated peaks

West, Colton Crater, with Missouri Bill Hill behind it to the left

S P Crater and its Southwest Ridge as I exit

Missouri Bill Hill

Getting closer

The Moon of Earth rises just over the peak's top

Summit

Views from the summit, and the benchmark

Missouri Bill Hill as I exit

The Southwest Ridge of S P Crater

The top is ahead

Colton Crater's big crater maw

Look back at S P Crater

Another view about halfway between the peaks

My car is below to the lower right. It gives scale to this massive feature
