The Tucson Ten List - SAHC flavor These peaks are all "top 10" by prominence for a given distance from downtown Tucson. They must have 300' or more prominence. (But I did add Sentinel Peak as the single exception) Scope is AZ only, with no bad access or technical peaks. C = 9 on SAHC Coronado High Peaks list E = 13 on SAHC Emblem Peak list (and not on CHP list) S = 23 on SAHC Hiker Peak list 21 not on SAHC lists +_____ 66 peaks in all. Explanation: Distance = Distance in miles from intersection of Broadway Blvd. and Stone Avenue. Prominence = Expected prominence in feet. Prominence is the elevation difference between a peak and the lowest contour that encircles it and no higher summit. On the following two items, imagine a circle slowly widening from downtown Tucson. New peaks are added when the circle first touches them, and an old peak is removed at this time. Inserted at = Position of the peak on the list when it is added. Lasted = Number of turns peak remains on the list as more peaks are added. Peak = Name of peak. Distance Prominence In. at Lasted Peak 1.45 272 1 10 Sentinel Peak 5.27 300 4 7 3200 Cat Mtn.
