This is a mountain that I often tried to fit in to my travel plans. This time around, it was right down the road when I started my day. I wanted to get there early to beat the heat, and I succeeded. Most of the morning, I also had high cloud coverage overhead that diffused the sun. It was actually a pleasant morning in the desert, which I certainly took advantage of. The trail is on a four wheel drive road until reaching a saddle, where the road ends. From there, a use trail goes up the slope. There are a few false summits along the way, which would definitely be demoralizing on a really hot day, but not a big deal on this day. The summit has an old building foundation and some decent views. From there, I returned the way I came.
