Peak 5197 in the low morning sun

Another view from the hills to the east

A nice sunny image of the peak

These deep arroyo ditches presented a challenge to get across

The peak from the highest saddle

Summit rocks, Swisshelm Mountain in the back

Mule Mountains to the southwest, with rain coming my way

Peak 5210, and the Chiricahua Mountain way in back

North, the Squaretop Hills, plus some of the ranch buildings down below

The peak is getting rained on as I exit

The sun is back out, taken as I am almost to my car
