Bassett Peak = November 07, 2009

Strenuous hike to Bassett Peak summit

But the fall colors made it worthwhile

East Divide Trail 287
Most color subdued due to being dry
And others just stand out
Again subdued colors
Entering the Coronado Wilderness Area
Just enough to know I turn right
Bassett Peak summit is on the left
Stand of birch from the WNW
Manzanita
Family of crawling cacti?
Remains of B-24 crash in 1943
B-24 wing is near bottom
B-24 wing
Looking across at trail switchbacks
Same stand of birch from the WSW
View north from the summt
View west from the summit
View south from the summit
Profile of the last scramble to the summit
U.S.Geological Survey marker
Stand of birch in center
Another view of B-24 wreckage
Trail continues along west side of ridge
Santa Catalina's
Yarrow's Spiny Lizard?
