Mount Wrightson - Santa Rita Mountains

Last Monday, I hiked up Mount Wrightson in the Santa Rita Mountains. It was 10.5 miles round trip. I started at 5,400 feet and hiked to the summit at 9,456 feet. It wasn't a difficult hike, it was just long, but the views were worth it. The mountain is nearly 7,000 feet higher than Tucson, and the surrounding savannas and deserts. The trailhead is located at located at the end of Madera Canyon Road about 30 miles south of Tucson.
