Pinyon Mountain
November 20, 2024


Walking up the lower road. The peak ahead is not Pinyon Mountain, which is behind it about another mile


First views of Pinyon Mountain at about halfway in


Closer in


At a saddle below the peak, the road now goes up to the right


Almost to where I leave the road and catch the Arizona Trail


Superstition Wilderness sign


Marching up the bare slopes, a lower peak to the right with what may be a pinyon tree on it


Summit windbreak ahead, Four Peaks and the moon


View north


West, Apache Lake


South, Two Bar Mountain


The windbreak looking west


Two peaks I didn't climb looking east. The one on the right is the same one as in the first image


Walking down now


Almost down, Roosevelt Lake and the Sierra Ancha. The white splotch is mine tailings near Asbestos Point. The peak to the left is Armer Mountain


Important sign on the road in, the benchmarks, and those two peaks again
