Continuing along the road to the saddle on Gold Mountain's southwest side.

Ascending to the saddle, just ahead.

From the saddle, I took a right and ascended the steep scree/dirt slope.

View back down toward the saddle I ascended from as I head up the steep slope/ridge. Mount Belknap visible poking out in the center. Peak 11440 seen right.

A social trail made it slightly easier, but it's quite steep.

Gold Mountain ahead. The rest of the hike was pleasant from here.

View back, Mount Belknap visible top right.

Gold Mountain ahead. I kept to the ridge crest for the most part.

Another shot back. There was a light social trail most of the way.

Another shot back. I ascended from the ridge just right of center in this photo.

View back. I ascended along the crest starting from the right in this photo. Mount Belknap visible top right.

An old road leads to the high point. Final push to the summit.

Onward to Signal Peak, seen ahead. I know the lighting and foliage changed in the photos - I used photos from two separate hikes.

I backtracked, not onward to Peak 11440 ahead.

An old road switchbacks up.

The road is heavily eroded, only a trail at certain points.

Nice views on the way up to Peak 11440.
