Gu Achi Peak (O'odham: Ge Aji Doʼag) is a mountain in the Santa Rosa Mountains of Arizona.[3] It is on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, about 56 miles (90 km) west of Tucson. Gu Achi Peak can be translated as "big ridge."[4] In precolonial times it was the central territory of the Totokwan group of the O'odham, and it may have served as the ceremonial center for the northern O'odham groups.[5]:12–15
