Finally here is the view once you make it to the top ridge to see Camelback Mountain to the Southeast

 

A 4X zoom view of Camelback Mountain

 

There is trail leading to the summit just a little further up from the ridge. 

 

Another view of Camelback Mountain

 

Getting closer to the summit.

 

There is the ridge below as I head up to the summit.

 

This is the steepest part of the hike as you scramble up to the summit over these rocks.

 

Whew!  Those feet and legs sure got a little workout.

 

There I am standing at the highest point of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.  Tom's Thumb is way off in the distance behind me.

 

There is my tripod setup to hopefully get a good timlapse of the sunset. 

 

There is the view looking North from the summit.

 

There is the view looking South from the summit.

 

There is the sun setting behind Piestewa Peak. 

 

Another view of the sun behind Piestewa Peak as I start the hike down the mountain. 

 

I took this photo as I was hiking down and trying to hurry before it gets too dark (click photo for hi res image)
