A modest 4687 feet gains
Wassan Peak the title of the highest peak in the
Tucson Mountains, which are partially protected by
Saguaro National Park West. The walk to the summit is about seven miles or so, easy to follow, and popular. Lots of good desert plants and birds and a nice view at the end. I might suggest going during the week if possible. It's worth the trip out there because you can also visit the
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and see the
raptor presentation.
Unfortunately, my long-suffering camera is fading fast. The lens doesn't communicate with the camera body and I'm not sure the light sensor is quite right. I can usually finagle a few good shots out of it. Sometimes I get weird ones like this above, which is pretty cool.
Crested saguaro are uncommon. Desert four-leaf clovers.
Old mine shaft for what I think was the Gould mine...
