Lower slopes of Peak 5112

The road through Apache Pass looking west

The cemetery near Fort Bowie can be seen

Summit of Peak 5112, plus Peak 5381 in back

Goverment Mountain to the northwest

South view into Siphon Canyon. I went up the farther ridge, came down the one to its front

The top is in view

At the high saddle

Getting closer. The actual highpoint is hidden for now

Summit ridge. The bump to the right is the highpoint

This is the northern point

View west. Peak 5112 is there but blends in with the background

Looking up at the ridge I am descending

Siphon Canyon. My car is ahead but not easily seen

Peak 5112 from the trail to Fort Bowie

Where the "Cut The Tent" incident took place

Peak 5381 from the same trail

Cemetery. Helens Dome in back

Battle of Apache Pass

The main grounds of Fort Bowie

Can't help but think about the Flintstones when I see these blobby walls

Flagpole, central parade ground

The Mess Hall

The lush greenery that surrounds Apache Spring. Some bad fighting happened here

Look back at the buildings
