Peak 2283 Gila Bend Mountains
March 4, 2023


Peak 2283 as seen on the drive in


Now viewed from the south as I start hiking, its long west-trending ridge visible


At the toe of the ridge


There is one steep bit with low cliffs but it was not difficult


The home stretch to the top


Look down what I'd just come up


The summit! Woolsey Peak in back


Northeast view, cool peak closer in, the Buckeye Hills in back


View north at the Palo Verde Nuclear Cloud Factory


Peak 2137, to the southeast


Nose Benchmark Peak, cholla, and morning glare


View southwest of the canyon I walked in on. My car is the tiny speck out there


Neat rock formation


The peak as I drive out
