It is one of the "Coronado 12" emblem peaks, meaning the high point of one of the 12 units of the Coronado NF. These mountains don't have any developed trails and see few visitors, mostly due to access issues across private land combined with a long difficult drive over rough 4x4 roads. Access is the same as heading for Ash Canyon, except you take FR659 south shortly after entering the forest land. It has been many years since the hike, and I don't remember the drive in much, other than it was long and very rough in places (got the first dent in my tailpipe on the RAV on this one). Eventually you end up on an area known as the mesas, where the road ends and the hike begins. It was basically a long rocky ridge walk up to the peak. Lots of brush and ankle-turning rocks, but nothing too steep. The one thing I remember is the incredible clumps of hedgehog cacti and some nice cholla specimens. |
