Completed a loop hike on the Box Springs Mountain plateau. From the parking lot, I picked up the Edison Trail going south to first summit Peak 2602. Next, I visited Box Springs Lookout. From there I followed the power line use trail toward Peak 3001. After Peak 3001, I picked up Box Springs Mountain Rd and visited Box Springs Mountain. I continued on to an overlook point of The "M". From there I went back north up Box Springs Mountain Road, where I diverted off the road to Peak 2866. There are two more peaks to get along the road, but I will get them next time (don't want to get too many peaks in a day, or else the experience becomes a blur). Meanwhile, I just completed the loop from there.
