The Patagonia Mts. are a complicated little mountain range topographically and geologically, but the range doesn't have any particularly exciting peaks. The northern part of the range, where I was, had a lot of red sandstone and rhyolite, with low but rugged mountains interspersed with some bits of surprisingly flat grassland. I visited the Patagonias on the 19th of March, 2005.

Looking north from a slope up the canyon between the Humboldt Mine and the Thunder Mine. I'd just scambled up that narrow steep bit.
