Johnny Lyon Hills Highpoint
February 24, 2024


Johnny Lyon Hill makes its first appearance as we hiked up the road


Closer, the highpoint is not visible, being to the left and in back. We ascended to the saddle roughly in the center


On the slopes up to the saddle


Now on the ridge, it's slopey-slabby on this eastern side


Summit up ahead


Approaching the highest rocks


Summit and cairn, and Peak 5720 (5734) in back


I hiked to the far north end of the ridge and took a photo looking back at Matthias at the summit


North view, the San Pedro River valley, and the Galiuro Mountains in back


Rincon and Mica peaks in back, the Little Rincons in front


Southeast view, Mae West Peak and the Little Dragoons


Hiking down the ridge


Look back up at the mountain from the drainage we exited


Shots of the house and various buildings
