Anyone know where this bench mark is? I've seen it with a few of you. It is on top of Wasson Peak. Wasson is the highest peak in the Tucson Mountains. Every once in a while I like to test myself on it to see what kind of shape I am in. The trail is fairly steep and really rocky. I run as much of it as I can, but ultimately it beats me into submission on the way up and I have to hike parts of the trail. I always try to make up for it on the way down. One hour fourty two minutes round trip this time. Eight and a half miles.
Here is the view from the top down to the trail head. It looks like a dead end in the middle of the picture. There are three cars parked there.
It was really windy on top. I was all sweaty and freezing so I didn't stay long. The mountains in the background (to the west) are the Silverbell Mountains. To the right of my big ugly mug there is a light colored spot on the mountains. That is the Silverbell copper mine. My dad worked there for thirty nine years, and my brother still works there.
