Poston Butte, Summit and mountain in Pinal County, United States.
The mountain rises to an elevation of 1,749 feet, featuring basalt formations overlying altered granite with a prominence of 223 feet.
Charles Debrille Poston, who championed Arizona's territorial status with President Lincoln, constructed a pyramidal tomb at the summit in the 1800s.
The area surrounding Poston Butte contains evidence of early Native American settlements and traditional pathways used by indigenous communities.
A marked trail extending 0.6 miles from Hunt Highway leads visitors to the summit, requiring sturdy footwear and water supplies for the journey.
The pyramidal tomb at the peak includes inscriptions detailing Poston's role in establishing Arizona's statehood and his work with Native American affairs.
