Pinnacle Canyon

I've not done a lot of hiking on the west side of town, but yesterday I drove out the Pinnacle Canyon road until it turned to go up the bench.  I parked and continued walking in the canyon.  It is actually in the middle of the gas field, so not at all remote.

But, from the canyon bottom the roads and rigs are invisible (and mostly inaudible).  I went all the way up one of the forks until it reached a well pad and road on the bench.  It was a nice early fall hike.
