May 30, 2020 — Escudilla Mountain is a fairly large mountain in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona. The dirt road leading to the trailhead is accessible by all vehicles. We started along the well-maintained trail, enjoying the pretty forest and meadows, and then through lots of deadfall from a 2011 fire. We enjoyed listening to the wind making eerie noises through the remaining dead trees. The trail was apparently recently cleared so we had no deadfall-hopping obstacles. The trail officially ends at the Escudilla Mountain Lookout Tower, which had some decent views.
The true high point of Escudilla Mountain required we backtrack from the lookout tower a hundred feet and continue north through heavily deadfall-ridden ridgeline. There weren't really any views from the high point.
