Starting from Cottonwood Campground. Eagle Mountain seen in the distance.

After leaving the sandy old road, I headed east toward the base of the peak.

View back.

Interesting granitic slickrock.

Lots of fun features.


The standard ascent canyon visible ahead.

A weird-looking dryfall.

Entering the drainage.

View back.


Making progress up the Class 2 drainage.

Another shot back, now higher up.

More Class 2, nearing the top of the canyon.

View back from the top of the canyon.

Close-up into the canyon I just came out of.

Eagle Mountain ahead, viewed from just past the top of the gully. I'm currently entering the light descent from the top of the gully, and then I have to re-ascend on the right in this photo to gain the summit.



This is the sort of terrain to contend with. It's overall pretty pleasant, but the boulders make for some interesting route-finding if following cairns becomes difficult.



A view south.

Approaching Eagle Mountain, ahead.

Eagle Mountain summit, view south.

View east.
