Ibex Peak
About
Ibex Peak is a summit in La Paz County, Arizona, rising to about 2,808 feet on State Trust Land managed by the State Department of Land. The nearest town is Brenda, about 8.6 miles away. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Kofa Mine weather station show January highs around 67°F and lows near 49°F, while summer highs climb into the 100s. That station sits well below the peak, so temperatures on top run cooler. For an overnight base, Bouse - Plomosa Rd campground lies about 9 miles away.
