Monument Mountain and Cottonwood Mountains High Point

From from the Cottonwood Visitor Center, I drove 4.7 miles down Pinkman Canyon Road before parking at a small pullout. My route was a double out-and-back, first hitting Monument Mountain to the north followed by Cottonwood Mountains High Point to the south. Both legs consist of a short approach through the desert to any spur ridge of choice. Once on the main ridge, it's a mellow, undulating walk to the summit.
