The Needles, Rock pinnacle group in Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, Mohave County, Arizona, US

The Needles are a group of rock pinnacles and mountain peaks on the northwestern edge of the Mojave Mountains, beside the Topock Gorge and the Colorado River in the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, Mohave County, Arizona. They rise from 1,207 feet (368 m) to over 1,600 feet (490 m).

The Needles are part of the Mojave Mountains, a range of volcanic origin in Mohave County, Arizona. The pinnacles stand next to Topock Gorge, where the Colorado River cuts through the range within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Their altitude ranges from 1,207 feet (368 m) to over 1,600 feet (490 m).

The name comes from the pointed pinnacles that rise beside Topock Gorge, a landmark for boaters on the Colorado River. The peaks lie within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, where the surrounding river corridor is managed for wildlife and visited by hikers and river travelers.

The Needles rise on the northwestern edge of the Mojave Mountains, beside Topock Gorge and the Colorado River, inside Havasu National Wildlife Refuge; the refuge's own roads and river access serve as the approach. The pinnacles top out above 1,600 feet (490 m), so the upper points are seen from the water or from higher ground across the gorge rather than from their base.

The Needles rise from 1,207 feet (368 m) to over 1,600 feet (490 m) in altitude, standing beside Topock Gorge at the northwestern end of the Mojave Mountains. They lie inside Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, so the pinnacles are protected habitat rather than a developed viewpoint.
