Picketpost Mountain Trail

A short, punishing climb up an isolated desert butte that rises nearly 2,000 feet above Superior and is visible from US-60 for miles before you get there. The lower trail is manageable. The upper section is Class 3 scrambling up loose rock with painted arrows as your only guide, and a mailbox at the top.
