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.

At 7,628 feet, Granite Mountain is the high point within the Granite Mountain
Wilderness. Covered in cliffs, bluffs, and ravines, the mountain is a towering structure that can be seen from a bunch of different areas around Yavapai County. From the top, you get endless views of the lower peaks and valleys towards Prescott.
