Tortilla Mountains are east of Florence and west of Kearny, and south of the Florence-Kelvin Hwy. It's an area I had not hiked in before, so I gave it a look.

When I started out at sunrise, the temp was 28 degrees and it climbed up to about 50 plus degrees by the time i was done.
Yes, there's a benchmark I hiked to, plus I took a little stroll on the Arizona Trail.
The Arizona Trail segment #15 goes through the Tortilla Mountains, then travels south, abeam them. The portion I was on was mostly in a wash until the trail climbed out of it, and continued south.
For the short time/distance I was on the AZ Trail, the track crossed that wash 11 times.

The 1936 benchmark is named "Tortilla". I used a defunct ranch for my trailhead. The deserted ranch now appears to be a watering depot for cattle and wildlife. Scat was everywhere.

Easy hiking on a beautiful day.
