"Went out early to beat the heat & crowds. I parked at the Silica Dome trailhead & took the quick hike up there first. It has great views! I then hiked down the valley toward Baseline Mesa & explored some of the beautiful nearby areas. Went up a slope on the north side of Baseline Mesa. At the top, I had to hike about a 1/4 mile to the summit. The views were spectacular! I descended a different route on the north side through red sandstone. It was quite pretty & fun. I then looped back to Silica Dome. I saw two tortoises on the hike. The entire area is covered in flowers right now & there was a cool breeze making the day really wonderful. I forgot to turn on my GPS until halfway through, but the hike was about 6 miles with 1500 feet of gain." — StudioHoodoo • Apr 22, 2023
"Got the actual summit this time . When you get near the top, instead of going through this tight crack, pop around to the right and you’ll see a notch you can pop up on to get to the summit. A good one for sure . " — joshortman • Mar 5, 2023
"The orphan can and should be added to this route . It’s tragic I made it it’s own out and back. 2431 is very fun, very nice chimney to crawl through right before summit . A little exposed right after that too. Boneyard is a piece of cake , just getting there is “hard” part , there is a Boulder field to navigate, kind of like mahoosic notch in Maine" — joshortman • Jan 7, 2023
"I’m pretty sure I got on the right summit . There was no rock stack or register that I could find, although the bob burd registers that are on the other peaks around here are quite small and can easily be missed. I was also a hair off the coordinates o had punched in on Google, but that would have put me in mid air which is not good . To reach the summit, I gained the slot then walked out on that ledge pictured and back up the face . Not as bad as it looks . " — joshortman • Jan 7, 2023
"A fine little peak. Called peak 3077 in rambles and scrambles . Road is broken where I started for about 1/4 mile then picks back up again for the rest of the approach. Broken road is impassible I would think. Needed this for p300 valley of fire peaks " — joshortman • Jan 6, 2023
