Mohon Peak
March 5, 2016


The peak as viewed from the road ascending out of Winslow Canyon


Dividing Canyon looking west


As seen from near the 5,220-foot ridge bump west of Goldwater Tank


Now a little east of Goldwater Tank, with Matthias in view. Suddenly, we had sunny skies


Chris trudges up the easy slopes, with the peak visible still far ahead


Looking back at Goldwater Tank and a little of Dividing Canyon


A beef stares at us as we ascend


We are traversing around Peak 6406, the summit is still 1,100 feet higher. Will it ever end?


The slopes above Peak 6406


Approaching the ridge about 7,100 feet. The brush gets taller here


As seen from the saddle immediately below


Summit views, including the junk atop the peak and the oddly-named benchmark


View east of Mount Hope, with Juniper Mesa way in back


On our exit, looking back at the peak and Dividing Canyon, with virga now falling on the high ridges


Chris and Matthias walking out, near Little Mesa Tank


One last image of the peak
