| no partners | | Mound has been on the list for some time. While 172A was unpleasant, an old Chevy Suburban made the trip just fine. There are a few spots along Reavis Ranch & Fireline that are pretty damaged and require a little more attention. This was the furthest East I have ventured in the Superstitions and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully the 88 is repaired someday and I can take advantage of easier access.
I have been aware of this peak for a few years and heard mixed reports on peak views. I was pleasantly surprised. You get a great view of four peaks from behind and most of the Superstition Ridgeline is visible off to the West. There were quite a few ladybugs on top. Peak ladybugs are always welcome.
We saw several White-tailed deer. No bears. Lots of cat tracks.
I should also mention that it looks like the trip register on the peak was destroyed. Looks like a glass container that shattered some how. If there is another register up there, I did not find it. |
