Sierra El Tigre and nearby areas, Monsoon 2015

This was a long trip over a short distance. A large cadre of biologists from Arizona and Sonora made the trip to enhance biological data about the mountain and region.

The trip was initiated near Nacozari de Garcia with the destination being the high point of the Sierra el Tigre just above the small community of El Tigre.

We traveled through the La Caridad Mine and across Rio Bavispe at La Angostura Reservoir, then north near the eastern edge of the reservoir, before heading east up the sierra.
