"Last hike of the big 10-day southwest road trip! We picked a new to me loop in Saguaro NP that coincidentally had 2 easy peaks and one "Kevin" peak with slight bushwhacking. Ken joined me for the 2 easy peaks, I was the silly one scrambling up a hill for Amole Peak. Beautiful day! A little breezy at times, but just such a gorgeous day. So glad to end 2023 with hiking, and looking forward to more hiking and resuming peakbagging in 2024!" — psychikingjes • Dec 30, 2023
"I started the hike at 0732 after arriving at the Kings Canyon Trailhead parking lot. The lot is sizeable, hosting upwards to 20 cars, but there were only 8 or so when I showed up. I stayed to the right, hiking in the kings canyon wash for the first half hour, where it was pleasant and shaded, but the sand under my feet slowed my usual fast tempo. I made it to the summit in 1 hour and 10 minutes, reaching at 0832 and spent 15 minutes taking photos and enjoying the view. The temperature and sun made the long stay somewhat uncomfortable, so I headed over to Amole peak shortly thereafter, scrambled to the top, before hopping down and returning to the parking lot. Amole peak is probably a haven for rattle snakes given the amount of rocks there, but I did not see any, fortunately. I had to bushwhack, scramble, and route find on that peak too.
I made it back to my vehicle by 1029 to make it just under 3 hours round trip, with probably about 45 minutes of breaks or climbing random rock scrambles that I saw. " — mchikes • Oct 4, 2020
"Tackled this spur-peak on my way down from Wasson Peak. It was a short off-trail hike that was a bit sketchy at first with all the loose sand, boulders and cactus. But after the first 30 ft or so, the ground got a little more stable and easier to navigate through. It took about 10 minutes to get from the trail to the top and then back down to the trail." — lawrencebaker • Feb 11, 2017
