Starting from Buckskin Cliff Shadows Park, I headed into the wash visible ahead. Summerlin Peak visible ahead.

View toward Summerlin Peak (left). The route I would take heads up the ridge in the center of this photo, then traverse across the ridge to Summerlin Peak.

Starting up the ridge.

Looking back toward the wash I hiked in on. Buckskin Cliff Shadows Park is around Cheyenne Mountain, center.

Back below Little Red Rock Peak, headed down to the saddle visible center.

Headed east from the saddle, Hidden Canyon visible on the right. It's technical, so don't enter without gear. Instead, keep to the left and head down a side-drainage.

Boulder-hopping to avoid Hidden Canyon.

Looking back up toward the boulder-hopping route I took (right) and Hidden Canyon's mouth (left).

Passing an old car along the trail system.
