Fortress Butte

This is a butte near the Arizona hot springs along Ringbolt Canyon. The hike to the top is steep and the last part has a lot of loose rock and some exposure. Still the reward is the view from the top. The other nice thing is that when you come back down, you can head down to the hot springs for a little soak before returning to the trailhead.

The top is mostly flat with a pitch to the north east end. There are a lot of barrel cacti at the top. Some very large.
