One of the goals of this hike was to scale the tallest fin on the plateau. On topographic maps it is identified by the elevation mark "4755T." The 360-degree view was delicious, partly because it exposed me to more terrain worthy of exploration. This view is to the west, showing a big S-curve of the Colorado River. The light-colored plateau on the far side of the river is the southernmost portion of Arches National Park.

Scaling the fin meant walking up the smooth, not-very-steep rock slope of the neighboring fin. The only difficulty was getting onto this fin where the two fins came together just below the top. A running start gave me the momentum to make the transition.
