Granite Mountain is the defining unique mountain visible in the entire quad city area around Prescott with its huge boulders and rock faces.

Very rugged, Granite Mountain is located in the Granite Mountain Wilderness. It's a wilderness. That means it's wild, and people have gone missing here never to be found again. Rescue searches that scouered every inch still came up empty, and there are places here that are simply inaccessible from the air and otherwise nearly impossible to search.

So, I recommend you hike this amazing place with someone and are well prepared as a hiker. Then, this place is unique, different, and enchanting. The views won't disappoint. I find the place simply awesome.
