Rincon Peak is the second highest peak in the Rincon Mountains at 8,482ft elevation. Though slightly lower than Mica Mountain, it is the most prominent peak in the Rincons. Both Rincon Peak and Mica Mountain lie within Saguaro National Park. Though there are a few different ways to reach Rincon Peak, the most direct route is via the Miller Canyon Trail, which takes you approximately 4 miles to the Rincon Peak Trail. The total route is approximately 14.7 miles with over 4,000 feet of elevation gain.

IS ONE OF THE MAIN PEDESTRIAN ROUTES OF the Ukrainian CARPATHIANS within Ivano-Frankivsk and Transcarpathian regions. It consists of 8 sections and passes through 21 peaks covering the entire ridge of the Gorgans mountains as well as parts of the Chornohirsky massif. For me, this type of hiking is a logical continuation of my project, as it provides a deeper feeling of the native land. It is not easy and requires psychological endurance and hiking skills.
