Photos of Peaks in the Spruce Mountain Area

Spruce Knob An observation tower allows visitors to Spruce Knob to see over the low scrubby trees of the flat summit area (1984-06-02).	Pharis Knob The "Witness Tree" should be the true summit. There is a rustic metal rod near the other tree with a red paint (2019-09-07). Photo by Powen Ru. Click here for larger-size photo.
Picea Benchmark Picea Benchmark may not be on the highest ground. I don't think I can locate it without GPS assistance, no chance to find it if under snow. (2021-05-22). Photo by Powen Ru. Click here for larger-size photo.
