Silver Peak is an Arizonan P2K in the Coronado National Forest lies just to the east of taller and more well known Chiricahua Peak. It is also ~9miles west of the New Mexico border, in fact to reach the trail head I needed to drive into New Mexico and back into Arizona. In my goal of climbing all 73 Arizona P2Ks this was my 32nd.
The trail up was pretty straight forward, a well maintained path and easy to follow tail all the way to the top. This was a welcome relief from some other peaks that had been completed earlier in the year. Closer to top you begin to enter a more forested area and to reach the summit there is a short section of steps built for what I would assume was an old fire lookout.
