Hills Northwest of Sonoita Arizona


View of hills along a wash 5 miles northwest of Sonoita taken on September 8, 2007. Late August and early September are usually the period when things out there are most green - at times reminding us of Wisconsin. Even though this location is only about 50 miles from Tucson, it is at an elevation of about 5,000 feet MSL and is definitely not in the Sonoran Desert. Rather it is in the once famous, southeast Arizona grasslands. Mt Wrightson, in the Santa Rita Mountains is located only about 5 miles to the west of this particular site.
