Mescal Peak in the distance

Now walking along a track toward it

Closer view

Now we're at its base

On the high ridge, the rocky summit ridge

The lower cliff and the rocky spine to the top

Typical of what we had on the top-most ridge

Then we were on top of the peak

North, the main Whetstone Range

Southwest: the Patagonia Mountains in the distance

South: The Mustang Mountains

There's a white-tail deer in the image, left of center, as we hike down
