I followed my nose to the somewhat subtle highpoint and found Navajo Point Benchmark. This was abou a 1/3 mile cross country stroll from the Desert View parking lot.
Cedar Mountain lives above the rim of the canyon on the east end of the park.
Afterwards I took a cruise through the park and picked out various other summits from established viewpoints. Here is interesting UN 6,633 from the top of the Grandview Trail.
