Peak 6513 - Airway Beacon 22 "Bernardino"
February 4, 2024


Peak 6513 as seen from highway AZ-80, lit by the low rising sun


Seen now from about three miles out


From the side, where the profile does not look so severely steep


About a third of the way up the road


About two-thirds the way up


About 19/20ths the way up


At the towers, the top is still a short scramble away


The airway beacon


View north, the high peaks of the Chiricahuas are covered in snow


Northwest view


West view, the knobby peak is Castle Dome


Close-up of the summit towers and the benchmark


Looking down from the top at the lower towers and the road down the ridge. I'm parked somewhere out in the flats below
