The summit is to the right, as viewed from the forest road about a mile to the west
The initial hike up the old jeep track
Surmounting a ridge, the summit is in view
An old dead tree marks the top
Stick Scott and Humphreys Peak in back
West view: the Hochderffer Hills (left), Kendrick Peak (center) and the Thomas Lake Crater (right)
Northwest view of Saddle Mountain, where I nearly sliced off my finger five years ago
North view at some lower cinder hills, with clouds and virga
Walker Lake Crater: View of the crater rim from the forest road, FR-151
Hiking up an old road through the trees
Now on the rim, following the trail amid meadows and trees
On the highpoint rim, looking back at the presumed highpoint
Looking down into Walker Lake
Another shot of the "lake", and the highpoint rim behind it
