- This peak is the high point on a ridge leading up from the saddle dividing Palo Verde Wash and Smoke Tree Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. It is accessed by a short peak scramble to the ridge followed by a ridge walk. To get to the saddle, follow instructions for the Rock Tanks Loop described in Afoot & Afield: San Diego County. I hiked a slightly different path, skipping the rock tanks and walking back on the highway instead of setting up a shuttle. Stats: 8.6 miles, 1450′ gain and loss. First Hike: 1-10-2015.
