Granite Mountain, Mountain summit in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.
Granite Mountain rises to an elevation of 7,636 feet, featuring exposed granite formations and dense forests within the Prescott National Forest system.
The mountain area became a center of mineral exploration during the 1800s when prospectors discovered valuable deposits in the surrounding Bradshaw Mountains.
The mountain holds significance for the memory of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, firefighters who protected the regional wilderness until their final mission in 2013.
Multiple trails lead to the summit, requiring 2-3 hours of hiking through challenging terrain that demands proper equipment and sufficient water supplies.
The mountain contains distinct geological formations where granite outcrops emerge through forests of ponderosa pine, creating natural habitat divisions at different elevations.
