Day 5 of 2025 Thanksgiving Trip to Tucson, Mt Wrightson
The fifth day of my 2025 Thanksgiving Trip to Tucson brought me to Mt. Wrightson, a prominent peak rising to the south of the city. Less technically demanding than the traverses of the Santa Catalina Mountains — such as Mt. Kimball, which I had tackled just two days prior — it nonetheless promised sweeping, rewarding views, and I was eager to see what it had to offer.
