Since I planned on climbing Hot Tamale Peak as well, I drove out the old Jeep trail from Dripping Springs Road around to the west where I parked and did the quick climb to the summit. What should have been a 10 minute climb took closer to 30 minutes, all due to attempting to avoid about every kind of thorny vegetation native to Arizona. Even taking the extra time I was stabbed a few times in the right leg and was bleeding from both forearms well before halfway up.

Great views, yes even of the Ray Mine. I noticed someone else made that same comment in the summit log and immediately below someone else added some x-rated comments dissing the view of the mine, saying it shouldn't even be there. But I beg to differ... I'm not here to debate the pros & cons about open-pit mines, however the various shades were interesting to me.
:SB:
In my summit log comments I mentioned the fact that whether we like it or not, if we drive a car or use electronic devices for instance, then the minerals mined there are a necessity for us to live with modern conveniences.

Although they really weren't much of a bother, due to the tons of flying ants I spent only enough time at the summit for photos and a 360 panorama video.
