What road number is this? Did you hike the Mt or is it on the rez?

Baboquivari Mt Rd off of Indian Route 19 from the Tohono O'odham Nation Culture Center and Museum. The Mountain is on Baboquivari Peak Wilderness and part of a Nature Preserve that is free for Indians to visit and requires a paid permit by non-Natives. I hiked around the toilets, grills, picnic tables and Ranger housing at the base of the Mountain. There is a battle between the between the Tohono O'odham Nation and the Bureau of Land Management that took this Sacred Mountain from them claiming they'd mismanage the property and turn it into a casino. www.liveabout.com/facts-about-baboquivari-peak-755909

@@yuma310 thanks for the reply and interesting information. I know they Tohono are allowing anyone on at this point because of covid 19 concerns which is odd because it's outdoors but the nation has been hit hard by the virus. Good video of that area.
