Van Gausig Benchmark
August 15, 2025


Van Gausig BM Hill in the distance


Now closer


Almost to the top


On top looking southeast at some sunlight rays


More rays


North, Mount Graham and the Pinaleño Range


West view


South view, the road I drove in on can be seen


Southeast, more dramatic rays


A rainbow as I exited!


A cow on the hillside, the barely-readable benchmark, and a reference marker with better distinction
