Elephant Butte March 2009

Elephant Butte - just northwest of our house.

This is the Fortifcation.

There are stone walls across the only easy access.  The rest of the area has very tall vertical cliffs.

Remains of the stone walls.

From the Fortification we followed the ridgeline up to the summit.

The view from the summit towards our house (just up & right from center).

Looking north down at Rondo Springs from the summit.

No trail.  Lots of rocks.

Rondo Springs.

The Fortification is the cliff on the left.  From there we followed the ridgeline up to the summit.
