Johnnie Canyon Trailhead.

Along the Johnnie Canyon Trail, an old roadbed.

Entering Johnnie Canyon.

The trail is sometimes not great, seen here, but it was overall not this bad.

Within the canyon, there were long sections where the trail was easy to hike along.

Though the canyon wasn't particularly interesting, it was a nice secluded hike. Above you can see the ridge I'm aiming for.

At a small meadowed junction in the canyon, keep right.

The Johnnie Canyon Trail continues more steeply, and was basically gone for a few hundred feet.

Then cairns assisted significantly.

The portion of the Johnnie Canyon Trail leading to the ridgeline was surprisingly well-defined.

Along the Carrizo Peak Trail, view back. It was steep, but the trail was in good shape.

Carrizo Peak seen ahead.

A bit more overgrown as I approach the base of Carrizo Peak.

Carrizo Peak ahead.

Steep trail through the forest. It was somewhat well-defined, if dirty and eroded.

View back, Peak 9180 seen left of center. Capitan Mountain top right.

Last bit to the summit.

Carrizo Peak summit (well, false summit since the true summit had less good views).

View north toward the Capitan Mountains.

I backtracked and headed up the Summit Trail toward Peak 9180.

A trail of sorts led nearly to the summit.
