Big Caprock Peak (4,416') probably has the best view of any lower elevation summit in the Tucson Area.

Various hiking clubs have different names for this rocky peak in the Tortolita Mountains such as Jeb's/Jed's Peak or Peak 4416. But we'll call it Big Caprock Peak because that's how the summit register identifies this rocky summit with an amAZing 360 degree view.

We'll start out on the steep Hotel Spur Trail and continue on the Upper Javelina and Wild Mustang Trails to a "route" leading to Big Caprock Peak. There is a relatively short rock scramble to the summit. We'll return the same way.

Meet at the Wild Burro Trailhead at Dove Mountain's Ritz-Carlton resort (see the red pin on Meetup's Google map). Tell the Ritz-Carlton gate house attendant that you are going to the Wild Burro Trailhead and he/she will wave you through. Parking is free.

The hike will start at 8:00am so arrive a little beforehand to gear up and use the trailhead restrooms (nice) if need be. My cell number is five-two-zero 3 0 7 2 4 5 5 .
