Hiking
At 7,748 feet, Aztec Peak is the tallest summit in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness. There is a forest service road that leads to the lookout tower at the top, but you can also hike the Abby's Way Trail, which is a 1.5-mile singletrack trail that climbs up the mountain from the west. You get a great view of the rest of the wilderness and the surrounding peaks from the top.
