The summit is to the right, as viewed from the forest road about a mile to the west

Surmounting a ridge, the summit is in view


An old dead tree marks the top

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
