Near the summit of Peak 5057 the rock formations were spectacular.

Tall slabs of rock standing on end.

Our crew at the elevation of 5,057 feet.

Thus this mountain is named Peak 5057. How original....hahaha.

"Strong like lion" ;-)

We signed the summit book hidden on the peak. :-)

We also ate more snacks to fuel ourselves for the trek back to the car.

A couple more pics on the peak.

Trying to be artsy and get our reflection in Jay's sunglasses.

Hiking down the mountain.

We kept a good pace even with sore knees & achy feet setting in.

We all reached Aaron's SUV around 4pm. That was 10 hours in the Superstition Mountains for April, Bob & I and 8 hours for the other 7. A LONG but magnificent day! I've been wanting to hike the Ridgeline Trail for a a long time now. So glad we got it done. Bonus to have such perfect weather and an awesome group. Wahoo! 

PS: Thanks to Aaron & Jay for dropping the truck for our transportation back to our cars at the start (Siphon Draw Trailhead). And a big thank you for having cold drinks and yummy snacks waiting in your car at the end of our hike. THAT really hit the spot!
