A couple more palm trees and the trunk of a palm tree. These are near the beginning of the canyon.

Looking back at the gentle area and where I came up to it just before I head up the steep slope to the ridge.

Looking back as I climb the steep slope - you can see Mortero Wash in the distance.

Getting a look at the summit ridge as I get closer to it. The summit is the high bump near the end of the ridge.
