Looking northeast across Queen Creek toward the
Superstition Mountains.
Cheryl striking a pose halfway up the Goldmine trail.
On our way to the summit, we had passed a rather large rock that had rolled onto the trail from its previous perch above. I jokingly called it the "Blarney Stone", kissed two of my fingers and pressed them to the rock. Cheryl went so far as to bend over and kiss the rock. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that. :) Therefore, in honor of the "Blarney Stone", we dubbed the Goldmine summit, Blarney Peak.

Someone had left behind a little American flag
commerating their climb to the top.

Based on the topo map in the ranger's office, I'm guessing this particular summit along the Goldmine trail was approximately 2400'.
