Hackberry Mountain as seen from AZ-260 highway

A closer view now

The top pokes above the ridges, as seen from the start of the hike

Part way up the slopes, looking back. That's Needle Rock

On the upper ridge, the top now comes into view

Getting closer

... and closer. That's it ahead

Summit, with Humphreys looming off in the distance

The Verde Rim

Needle Rock
