Cunningham Mountain is located in La Paz County, Arizona, and stands at approximately 2,540 feet (774 meters) above sea level. This mountain and the surrounding area are located in an arid desert environment, characterized by rocky outcrops, sparse desert vegetation (like chollas and the unique Ocotillo cactus), and a network of old mining structures, dirt roads and trails, making it a popular spot for off-roading and hiking. This is a relatively remote feeling peak that can get hot in the late spring, summer, and early fall. There is little to no shade on the trail so please start early, bring more water than you think you need, and wear lots of sun protection. There are several radio towers near the top as well as a jerry rigged flag marking the summit.
