Deer Hill
March 25, 2023


Starting up the old road, summit can't be seen yet


On the first rise, where the road drops. Up ahead it meets a crest. The summit may be the rounded bump to the left of the pointier one


Saguaro stand tall and vertical on the hillside across from me


This is Peak 3552. It was going to be my bonus peak for the day but I didn't want to mess with cliffs


Deer Hill to the right


A lonely cattle trough sits in a flat spot, peak in the background


Marching uphill to the top, a hawk was circling around me and I was able to catch him in the image


Summit! The prickly pear sits right on the top. In back are Four Peaks and shadows made by the clouds


West view, more big peaks


Lake Roosevelt. Windy Hill is the island. I hiked it in 2019 where an isthmus connected it to "mainland".


Hiking out, the road drops then gains that bump, where I was standing when I took photo #2 above


Walking down to the trailhead near the marina (blue roofs). The lake level is so high it has inundated some shoreline RV spots
