After a climb of about 800 feet (245 meters) to the ridge line our goal was in sight, though we didn't know it at the time.
The first up close view as we approached the crest of the hill.
We're told the walls were once nine feet (2.7 meters) tall, but most have crumbled.
The wall at the north end is still about seven feet (2.1 meters) in height.
A peep hole served to keep an eye on the north slope of the hill.
It was a beautiful day, only about 90F (32C) on Sunday, April 28. Wouldn't think of visiting in the summer.
There is a circular enclosure within the walls at the south end of the fort.
When the walls were intact they would have provided excellent protection against attack from below.
The view to the south.
This and several other sites we visited over the past couple years were first described to us by Arizona Ruins. Due to the proximity of modern civilization, the authors of that helpful site were careful not to give too much away with regard to location. We'll respect that choice and abide by the philosophy.
