Tombstone Weekend

[sandy]

I joined a MC group this weekend in Tombstone. As I knew some about the area, I took some backroads instead of the main highways. I searched for this monument and looked up it's full meening.

Both shots were taken on Charleston Rd between Tombstone and Sierra Vista, AZ. The peak on the right is Carr PK at 9200 ft. The left peak is Miller PK at 9600 ft (If I remember correctly).

Forgot to say: Many years in the past I hiked up to both peaks. Carr PK was just a day trip. The Miller PK trip was a backpacking overnighter. There use to be an abandoned ranger cabin where you could sleep for the night. FT Huachuca is at the base of the peaks. It's the Army's surveillance headquarters.
