Mount Wrightson, Mountain peak in Santa Cruz County, United States.
Mount Wrightson rises to 2,881 meters in the Santa Rita Mountains, forming a pyramid-shaped profile visible from southeastern Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
The mountain received its name from William Wrightson, a mining entrepreneur who lost his life during the 1865 Battle of Fort Buchanan.
Native American tribes considered this mountain a significant location before European settlers arrived in the Santa Cruz County region.
Two routes lead to the summit: the Old Baldy Trail covering 5.4 miles and the Super Trail extending 8.1 miles, intersecting at Josephine Saddle.
Large gatherings of ladybugs occur on the summit during specific periods, particularly in November after the first snow melts.
