| Nothing exciting at the cairn - but we were able to locate it quickly. Good thing, as an electrical storm moved in and it was time to retreat! Rice Peak's view was pretty decent, too. | |

| I guess I am only a half-hearted or a fussy peakbagger. I tagged my goal, the COHP, but frankly I had zero interest in walking up to the top of Rice Peak. Bring your 4WD for this one. | |

| weeds19 | Stroll down Oracle Date Climbed: May 1, 2009 | |
| The hike is listed as 6 miles each way along the Oracle Ridge, but there's not much elevation gain and trail is in good shape. It's awfully nice to have a good trail! Made the trip in about 4 hrs rt from the Mt Lemmon highway. Great day for hiking with overcast skies. | |

| Geez - been up 3 times, and don't have a date recorded for any of the ascents. Only a cohp nut can appreciate the liner, but Rice Peak is at least a named nubbin with views - but not quite a summit. With any luck Pima county will give 40 acres to Pinal and kill the liner. | |

| Long hike in from the fire station on the Mt. Lemmon road via the Oracle Ridge trail. Not as hot as I would have expected for May in AZ. Mediocre views from the summit, near zero from the COHP, which is a rock pile (I found 2 rock piles and 2 registers) surrounded by trees. | ||

| Hiked this peak twice - 1999 and 2003 - both times to get the county highpoint, and both times going up and over Rice Peak then down the north face. In 2003 we had plenty of snow still on the ground. Fun! Not as easy as you would think, by the way. Our reports | |

| I didn't even try to get to the summit, only three hundred feet above me as my goal was the county highpoint of Pinal County. I actually had contoured to within 150 feet of the summit before I dropped down to where the country crossed the east flank of Rice peak but after Dennis gave me the description of what was up there, I chose to save my energy for the long hike out. A good decision as we had a long hike and then a good drive to get to our next destination before it got too late. | |
