Escudilla Mountain, Mountain summit in Apache County, Arizona
Escudilla Mountain reaches an elevation of 10,916 feet, making it the third-highest peak in Arizona with a prominence of 2,372 feet.
The mountain holds a significant place in environmental history as the location where the last grizzly bear in Arizona was killed in 1936.
The name originates from Spanish, meaning 'large cup', reflecting the mountain's broad basin shape with high alpine meadows across its summit.
The trail to the summit begins at 9,600 feet elevation and extends three miles through aspen groves and pine forests with a 1,312-foot elevation gain.
The mountain supports a population of reintroduced Mexican wolves, known as Lobos, which have inhabited the area since their return in 1998.
