The junction where I parked. Right leads to the summit via a good dirt road, left continues to Connor Spring. I started to the left, knowing I'd be descending from the right later after summitting.

Along the road to Connor Spring.

Just past some old abandoned camp materials at Connor Spring, I located this fence and headed through, the trail only existing for a short time.

After some minor bushwhacking, the landscape opened up. I continued south, using animal trails.

A nice animal trail continued through brush and up the slope.

Continuing steeply up the slope to the ridge above.

Looking back before the ridge at some pretty hills. My car is parked somewhere in the center of this photo in front of those hills.

Once on the ridge, I headed west toward Highland Peak.

Some minor Class 2 that's easily navigable.

Looking back the way I came, the saddle where I joined the ridge visible on the right. My car is parked in the drainage on the far left somewhere.

More minor Class 2 along the ascent ridge.

Looking back again.

Highland Peak ahead. I continued along the ridge. There was one minor descent along the ridge, visible on the right.

Highland Peak ahead.

Looking back as I continue along the ridge, just below Highland Peak.

I joined the summit road and took it to the summit of Highland Peak.

Highland Peak summit, view south.

Highland Peak.

I headed down the summit road. Some nice views as I went.

Looking back toward Highland Peak (center) as I continue down the road.
