I have two that are special to me. Really wild and isolated, with many personal associations:

1) Baboquivari Peak in Southern Arizona. Spectacular, rugged summit with fantastic views. The easiest route to the summit requires technical work The Tohono O'otam consider the peak the center of the universe. They have it about right.

2) Point Bennett - most westerly point on San Miguel Island, California. A huge seal rookery placed amid thrashing waves pounding against a rocky coast. Archeological sites on the land and shipwrecks in the water. Stung by the perennially powerful winds, you can really feel Nature's power here.

Neither of these spots will be overrun by tourons in anything like the foreseeable future.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
