Scott and Mattias hiking up the last little bit of trail to the top


Approaching the summit, Scott and Mattias are swallowed up by the man-high brush


Summit plaque and benchmark. The benchmark's year, 1910, matches the peak's prominence!

West view of Mount Wrightson. Baboquivari Peak is barely visible way in the back
