Mount Peeley & Pigeon Spring Peak
April 18, 2021

 


Mount Peeley


The trailhead


Some of the trail


Now on the brushy east ridge, nearing the top where the brush wasn't so bad


A snake! Almost stepped on him. I think it's a gopher snake but if you know better, please email me


Look back east at some storm clouds and sheets of virga


The summit


South view, Peak 7579 and a little bit of weather


Matthias at the summit rockpile


Southwest view: Saddle Mountain and Sheep Mountain


North view, Mount Catherine and Peak 7579


View east, the road we drove in on, and Peak 6340, plus clouds. I had to play with the contrast settings to reduce the glare in this image


Peak 6340


Mount Peeley from Peak 6340


BM Tonto, a sign on the AZ Trail showing we're roughly halfway between Mexico and Utah, the boring brushy top of Peak 6340, and a close up of the snake
