Formatting

Hi there, not sure what screen resolution you used to write the page but there's some weird formatting going on re your photos when I view it on my laptop, which is set at 1366x768.

I would suggest making the photos smaller and/or putting them in tables. Putting them in tables is especially useful as it means they don't get pushed around by other page elements. For instance on my screen the table of contents is pushing one of your photos out of line.

Hope that helps.

Elevation & name

I was on the trail on 1-1-15 and the metal post did have "Dixie Peak" painted on it. Also, the elevation is 2,429 feet, per the topographical map.

An interesting side note: This peak is the highest point inside Paradise Valley city limits.

Re: Elevation & name

Good stuff, thanks! Interesting that just a couple weeks later, the post says TWOBIT PEAK on it. Keep me posted if you see it change. I asked some hikers coming down and they said they thought it was called Twobit peak as well. Odd stuff.

Re: Elevation & name

The peak has no official name, and it appears that people are taking advantage of that post to rename it as they see fit. I only knew it as "Peak 2429" until recently; the Phoenix Mountain Preserve refers to it as Dixie Peak in some websites, and I have no idea the origin of that name. I live close by and probably will rehike it just for the exercise... I wonder what it will be called next time...
