Picketpost Mountain
November 11, 2015


Magnificent Picketpost Mountain as seen from the trailhead


Hiking the lower trail, looking back to see Superstition Mountain and Weaver's Needle


Now closer, the ascent gully is now visible


This part is a mix of scant trail and easy rock scrambles


Looking down at the ascent ridge


Almost within the gully, this rock prow is a notable landmark


Higher in the canyon, the upper headwall comes into view


From the top: view east at Superior and the Apache Leap


View of Pinal Peak, looking east and south a little


Northwest view of Superstition Mountain and Weaver's Needle


The mailbox and bench


Stick Scott leans up against the mailbox
