At Lida Summit, view toward Magruder Mountain, center.

Along an old ATV road that heads south toward the slope ahead.

View back along the road.

After the road ends, the grade steepens dramatically.

At the top of the first steep slope, a short section of flatter hiking. You can see the next slope ahead, followed by the pleasant bald ridgeline of Magruder Mountain.

Ascending the second steep slope.

View back toward Lida Summit (center) as I near the ridgeline.

Out of the trees and nearing the ridgeline.

Onward to Magruder Mountain.

View back.

A pretty nice trail materialized.

View back. Palmetto Mountain visible on the right.

Magruder Mountain visible ahead.

Close-up toward Magruder Mountain.

Following the trail as it wraps around a couple of inconvenient humps along the ridgeline.

View back.

The trail sort of fades away below the summit. This easy slope leads up the east slope of Magruder Mountain.

I came from the ridgeline lumps on the top left in this photo.

Magruder Mountain just ahead.

Close-up toward the ridgeline I came along (left) and Lida Summit (right).

A shot south into Death Valley.
