Peak 5894 is the second highest point on the Sehewoki’I Newenee’an Katete massif. Most people incorrectly believe that the summit of Sehewoki’I Newenee’an Kateteis at a fire lookout located at the southern end of Peak 5894. The lookout’s elevation is 5,874 feet. In between these two points are two other points of almost equal altitude. The actual high point ofSehewoki’I Newenee’an Katete is only 2 feet higher than Peak 5894. Thus, if you want to claim an ascent of Peak 5894, you have to go to the north end of the ridge containing the lookout. The high point is not Point 5870 (which has a large brick building on its top) but the next peak north.
