Starting from North Creek Pass, I hiked along this ATV road.

The ATV road climbed steeply.

View back down along the ATV road. Abajo Peak seen top right.

Descending from a small lump along the ATV road.

Climbing through the forest.

View back, Peak 11209 seen on the right.

The ATV trail emerged into a meadow at Cooley Pass. Abajo Peak is obscured by the hump on the left. I found an unmarked trail that I decided to follow.

Along the unmarked trail, view back toward Jackson Ridge and Cooley Pass.

Ascending meadows along the unmarked trail.

Jackson Ridge seen left.

The unmarked trail was in great shape, leaving meadow and then leading through the forest. Abajo Peak seen on the left.

I emerged on the service road and followed it to the summit of Abajo Peak.

View back shortly before the summit, South Peak seen on the left.

After backtracking to the base of Jackson Ridge, I started up its east slope.
