I had an hour to kill before I could check in at my hotel in Blythe. I found an easy PB peak just off I-10 that could fill the hour, counting drive time. I drove to the north side on Black Rock Road, a dirt road in good shape. I did a U-turn and parked on the side of the wide road. A rough jeep trail ran up the north side. It took about 10 minutes to visit the top and get back down. There was a rough fireplace on the summit and a white cross down the slope to make it more visible from I-10.
