Peak 4373, also known as Ridge Crest Peak, seen here, centered


A little closer


The trail goes up and over the ridge to the left. The off-trail segment goes right, cuts up and to the right and achieves the high ridge at the low point seen here


Now on the high ridge, the summit is up there somwhere


The highest point up ahead


At the top. The rock to the left is the very top


View north of Jeffords Peak, highest point of the Tortolita Mountains


Southeast view into the morning glare


The Santa Catalinas, with snow still on its highest points


The Alamo Spring Trail runs below the ridge to the right


Cool geology


In better lighting as I hike out, the peak is seen here in the distance
