This visually striking high point rises abruptly above the Big Sandy River valley near Hackberry Canyon, and is edged on the eastern side by a raised alluvial plain. The peak stands out due to its honey-gold and pinkish white colors which contrast with the surrounding local terrain. The peak is {{convert|3.5|miles|0}} SSE of Signal, Arizona.[5] The highest point of Wegner Peak is {{convert|1850|ft|0}} in elevation, while its base is at approximately {{convert|1340|ft}}. Wegner Peak sits mostly on private land and is bordered to the south and east by the Arrastra Mountain Wilderness. The local name of the peak, often used by some residents and hikers,[6] originates from the family name of the peak's landowners. Officially, the mountain has no name listed on topographic maps.[7] GeologyWegner Peak was originally part of a series of igneous layers. The rock has been tilted with the formation of the Artillery Mountains. The mountain straddles the division of a local contact fault. The peak is part of a pluton composed of early Middle Proterozoic Granitic Rocks (1400-1450 Ma) from the Calymmian Period. Wegner Peak is mostly porphyritic biotite granite with large microcline phenocrysts, with local fine-grained border phases and aplite.[8] The Big Sandy River bends around the mountain cutting through Hackberry and Signal Canyons approximately {{convert|500|ft|0}} below the peak. Madril Wash flanks the northwest side of the peak, nearly isolating the mass from the rest of the mountain range.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|title=GeoHAck - Wegner Peak |url=https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Wegner_Peak¶ms=34.431549_N_113.60152_W_type:mountain_}} 2. ^{{cite peakbagger |pid=-44845 |name=Wegner Peak |accessdate=September 28, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite peakbagger |pid=-44845 |name=Wegner Peak |accessdate=September 28, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite peakbagger |pid=-44845 |name=Wegner Peak |accessdate=September 28, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Google Maps - Wegner Peak |url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wegner+Peak,+Arizona+86438/@34.4314528,-113.6015189,9997m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x80d2456b829ea205:0x119313ac6815836e}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Wegner Peak - Arizona, United States - the global summit log|url=http://peakery.com/wegner-peak-artillery-range/}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=Hackberry Canyon, AZ - N34.43387° W113.60174° |url=https://www.topoquest.com/map.php?lat=34.43387&lon=-113.60174&datum=nad27&zoom=16&map=auto&coord=d&mode=zoomin&size=m}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Geological Map of Arizona|url=http://data.azgs.az.gov/geologic-map-of-arizona/#}} External links
