I take a break on a hill on Pinto Mountain at about 5870 feet elevation, munch on an energy bar and enjoy the views

I could spend all day up here, climbing over the next hill, and then up to Purdy Peak. But I also want to go back toward the western end of the mountain, which is easier. So I turn around and start heading west again.
