Last Chance Mine Peak & Bland Hill
October 8, 2022

 


Peak 3937 - Last Chance Mine Peak
 

The summit from where the road crasts
 

Now much closer
 

Now the summit is mere feet away
 

Looking south
 

Now looking north
 

A look down from whence I came. My car is the shiny speck seen near the bend in the road
 

Bland Hill as viewed from where I started walking, and saguaro
 

Now seen about halfway up, the jeep track can barely be seen on its side
 

As I near the top ridge, the two summit points are now visible
 

A view of the north summit point from the south one
 

View slightly left, Peak 3937 is seen slightly left of center, in shadow
 

The southern summit point as seen from the northern one
 

The height-of-light pole on the north summit
 

Mine tailings from the old Bland Mine
 

Looking down into the shaft near the tailings. That is the hole of death if you ask me.
 

I return to my car, with the village of Bumble Bee behind. The Sunset Point rest stop on Interstate-17 lies atop the plateau with the towers, at the left side of the image
