Mount Mingus is very special to me as I've spent many times contemplating life and finding the scenery from this far up (5,000 ft) breath-taking beyond measure. Looking down into the valley is Cottonwood, Arizona, and one of my most favorite spots, Tuzigoot (an ancient Indian ruin) can be seen on a clear day. The sky stretches out as far as the eye can see. A very sacred spot. Many wonderful memories from this spot.
