Picketpost Mountain from a bit after turning off the official trail.

This was hike four of eight of my third southern road trip. This time I went to Arizona. This hike is a ways east of Phoenix.

This was the one hike where even though we were just on BLM land there was an attendant in the parking lot. She was just taking statistics of number in party, and place of origin. However it did make me think my vehicle was very safe! I appreciated it a lot.

The woman said that she had 200 people on Saturday and 100 on Sunday. Good thing we were there on Monday! Though based on the crowds the day before on Flatiron I guess we had similar numbers.
