Ascent Trip Reportin South Mountain Park I parked at the small parking lot at the locked gate and East San Juan Road. I walked west on the road to the Alta Trail which heads (right) north via a series of switchbacks until it reaches the ridge line. The trail heads west up and down. I turned off the trail and followed the ridge line in the direction of Maricopa Peak. I marked the turnoff with a rock cairn. The off trail hike to the peak has some a faint trail in places. |
