Mount Wrightson

Mount Wrightson (O'odham: Ce:wi Duag[4]) is a 9,456-foot (2,882 m) peak in the Santa Rita Mountains within the Coronado National Forest, in southern Arizona, United States.It was named for William Wrightson, a miner and entrepreneur in the region killed by Apaches in the 1865 Battle of Fort Buchanan.Mount Wrightson is the highest point in the Santa Rita Mountains[2] and the Tucson region, lying 40 miles (64 km) southeast of the city.Fauna on Mount Wrightson include birds such as the scrub jay and ravens high up near the peak, Coues white-tailed deer, black bear, and (rarely) mountain lion.[6] The final approach to the summit is north facing and may be impassable without special equipment during the winter due to ice.
