Brown Canyon - Peaks 6790 & 5870
February 21, 2024


Peak 5870 as viewed from the ranch complex, as I start the hike


A couple miles up, things get rockier and cliffier


Peak 6790 up a ways


Last little bit is very rocky


Summit of 6790


View northeast, Peak 5870 is down below. The white thing is a border patrol blimp


The high peaks of the Huachucas still under a lot of snow


View down the ridge I came up, and the range crest of the Huachucas


Now I'm heading toward Peak 5870


Last haul up 5870


Summit of Peak 5870


Look back at Peak 6790. Ramsey Peak is the bigger one behind it


East, Mule Mountains


Hiking out, a view up canyon


Big cottonwoods, a windmill and the ranch house


The ranch house. I always liked those metal roofs


An old oven (?) on the trail, some tree scenes, and a zoom image of the blimp
