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
