Mining operations and scientific research define this high-altitude landscape in the Santa Rita Mountains. The high peaks are home to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, complete with its Heliport and Telescope facilities. Below the summits, the terrain is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, from the Montosa Mine in Montosa Canyon to the Glove Mine and Tia Juana Mine along Tia Juana Ridge.
