Temps in the 80s made the hike a bit warm, but comfortable with the breeze, plenty of water and sunscreen. Panoramic views and vibrant colors, plus the cacti in bloom, made this one a treat. Will definitely be back to the monument.
Hiked standard Bull Pasture trail with my wife.
This peak gets a lot of DPS traffic, since it is on their list.
From the top I think we saw Mount Lemmon, 115 miles away.
Jonathan de Ferranti's computer panorama from Lemmon suggests
that this view is possible on a clear day.
Route Climbed - Mount Ajo Trail Date Climbed: Mar 25, 2008
My girlfriend Jan and i tackled this on a Spring Break vacation. Much easier than i thought. A well-cairned trail all the way to the top. Beautiful scenery and bearable air temps. It's a Desert 98 peak !
