Tinajas Altas Peak
November 10, 2018
View of the Tinajas Mountains from the north. I think the left-most of the doiuble-summit may be the highest point
We congregate at the start. Our ascent canyon is in shade, to the right. The summit is the left of the two distant peaks to the right
Now atop a big pour-off, looking out at the Cabeza Prieta Mountains
A view up the canyon. The peaks ahead are not the summit
More canyon. No, that's not the summit up ahead
The ascent canyon makes a left. The summit is just beyond the point at the top of this gully
The summit mass. The highest point is to the left
It gets very steep for the final couple-hundred feet
Summit view, southwest, looking at the border fence. The U.S.A. is to the right, Mexico to the left
Me on top, happy I'm here, but itching to get down
We descended a different canyon, with this fine view of the summit
Continuing our descent
We had to get around this huge dry-fall
My favorite part of the hike: the trek across flat desert back to the cars
One last view of the mountains as we walk out
