| the hike |
This a loop hike. We’ll start just north of Superior.
Start on off trail with moderate ups and downs. Take a slight break under power lines “RX1”. Cross the road head uphill toward three massive reflective towers “TWR”. After picture taking we’ll continue upward to bag Peak 5630. Great view of the distant Zimmerman point as well as nearby mine site. After the summit, head southwest looking for a way down. At “RI” we’ll cross the road that we hike back to our vehicles. See the GPS route. |
