Mingus Mountain, Summit and mountain in Black Hills range, Arizona
Located within Prescott National Forest, Mingus Mountain rises to 2,355 meters and features diverse landscapes of evergreen forests and rocky outcrops.
Named after the Mingus brothers who operated a sawmill at the mountain base in the 1880s, the area supported silver mining operations in the late 19th century.
The mountain holds significance for the Yavapai people, who refer to it as Hwa:lkyañaña in their native language.
State Route 89A traverses the mountain between Prescott Valley and Jerome, with Forest Service roads providing access to multiple camping grounds and hiking trails.
The mountain serves as a transmission point for television stations and stands as the primary location for hang gliding activities in western United States.
