Deadman's Dome (Peak 6027) - Sedona

I started at the Boynton Canyon Trailhead and followed that to Deadman's Pass Trail. After hiking 1.2 miles, I followed a series of social trails from Deadman's Pass Trail to the summit of Deadman's Dome. After hiking 1.9 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes, I reached the class 3 climb up to the rock fin. On the top, I followed the slick rock around Deadman's Pocket. At 2.5 miles I began the ascent up Deadman's Dome from the south, and then stood on the 6,027-foot summit at 11:17 AM. At this point I was 2.8 miles from the trailhead, and it had taken me 3 hours and 32 minutes. After resting and taking photos I headed back down at 12:29 PM. At 2:25 PM I was back at Deadman's Pass. Then it was an easy hike back to the trailhead, and my mini van. I arrived at my vehicle at 2:57 PM. My round-trip hike was 5.4 miles, and it took me 6 hours and 53 minutes. I was exhausted.

Mount Ajo - Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

I hiked up to the 4,811-foot summit of Mount Ajo for the second time. I began my hike at 8:20 AM. At 1.5 miles I reached the end of the maintained trail at Bull Pasture. That took 48 minutes with an ascent of about 917 feet. From here the trail is unmaintained. After 2.6 miles I reached the steep, scree covered slope. This ascent up to the ridge gains about 421 feet in almost a quarter mile. Beyond this point the trail is a moderate grade.  At 11:38 AM, I reached the summit. It took me 3 hours and 18 minutes to travel 4.1 miles. After taking photos, I headed back down to my mini van. The entire hike was 8.1 miles round-trip, and it took me 6 hours and 48 minutes. The ascent up Mount Ajo was about 2,437 feet.
