And suddenly, I was on the summit!

Look down the cliffs onto the winding highway AZ-78

View north from the summit

The ridge, the summit is to the left and behind that bump. This was on the descent

Maverick Hill and the cliffs as I descend

View of the peak as I drive out

Some ridge views, the benchmark, and another shot of the cliffs

Lower slopes of Peak 5191

Upper slopes

On the summit, looking at Guthrie Peak

South view at the other ridge points

Hiking down, my car is down there but not easily seen

More views, plus a snake (a coachwhip? not sure)
