Rising above the Gila Valley at 10,720 feet, Mount Graham is the crown jewel of Southeastern Arizona’s landscape. As the tallest peak in the Pinaleño Mountains, it offers a dramatic change in climate, ecology, and experience — from desert floor to alpine forest. Popular for hiking, camping, fishing, and scenic drives, it’s also home to the Mount Graham International Observatory and sacred to local Indigenous communities. Whether you're climbing switchbacks on the Swift Trail Parkway or relaxing by Riggs Flat Lake, Mount Graham is a breathtaking escape for adventurers and solitude-seekers alike.
