Brandenburg Mountain
April 14, 2024


Brandenburg Mountain as seen from Aravaipa Canyon Road


From the trailhead


Walking up the drainage


Now on the slope: lupine, palo verde, saguaro, cholla


The trail passes through colorful flowers


Ocotillo, prickly pear, pencil cholla, creosote


Now on the old road, which now serves as a flower bed


The peak reappears


I left the road and went up this slope to bypass the cliff to the left


On the high saddle now


The top is near, much brushier now


East view into Aravaipa Canyon


The summit looking south, Table Mountain in the distance


Two more views of the peak, another road shot, desert marigolds
