Peak 5486 (Santa Rita Mountains)
August 30, 2025


The trees in the lower canyon


Now turning toward the ridge, the peak is that way somewhere


On the high ridge


More ridge


Ascending the hill before the summit


This be the summit finally


Summit area


The high Santa Rita Mountains: Josephine, Wrightson, Ian, 88-Mac and Florida Peaks


Summit cairns and a cadastral survey mark


Look back south where I came from, the sun creates cool effects on the ridges


I thought the rocks and shadows made for a neat image, cows, flowering plant, walking the road down
