Mount Wrightson 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. Mt. Wrightson is the highest point in the Santa Rita Mountains[2] and the Tucson region, lying 40 miles (64 km) southeast of the city. Its distinctive pyramid-shaped profile is visible from much of southeastern Arizona and adjoining areas in Sonora, Mexico.[3]
The mountain is known for the views from its barren peak,[citation needed] nearly 7,000 feet (2,100 m) feet above Tucson.
