Peaks 5094, 5017 (Santa Rita Mtns) & 5092 (Patagonia Mtns)
November 17, 2024


Peak 5094 as I walk the road


Now on its western slope


Almost to the top, the summit rocks become much larger


The top 60 feet or so is a mush of rocks, some solid, some not at all


Summit cairn looking west


Looking down the rocks, some cows on the hillside below


View of the peak from farther out. Mount Wrightson in back


Peak 5017 from the north


An unexpected gate in the fence on the ridge


Summit up ahead


The final slope to the top


Summit cairn


Peak 5092's top


Closer in


The last grassy slope


Summit itself looking northwest


View west, Red Mountain Lookout


View southeast: Saddle Mountain and nearby peaks. I climbed the one in from (Peak 5085) six weeks ago


Windmill near Peak 5094, and three long-distance views: Peak 5094 top right, 5017 bottom left, and 5092 bottom right
