Arizona Mountains


By Manjula Fernando


For the one who seeks to travel, experience the splendor of wildlife, along with the grandeur of a diverse landscape, Arizona is the place. The State of Arizona, which means the "place of the small spring", also known as the Grand Canyon State, consists of mountains, plateaus, and the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in America. It is located in Yavapai County, 55 miles ESE of Prescott; bordered by Utah from the north, Mexico from the south, New México and Nevada and California from the east and the west. Arizona covers an area of 295,274 sq km (114,006 sq mi). The mean elevation of the state is 4,100 feet above sea level. A blend of unique desert geography and rich volcanic geology, with isolated mountains, sharp ridges and deep canyons create a diverse landscape, unlike anywhere else in America.

The mainland of Arizona has three geographical divisions: the Colorado plateau, the Transition Zone and the Basin and Ridge Region. The last, is featured by mountain ranges running from the northwest to the southeast. Arizona has over 3,928 mountain peaks. These include associated peaks in Arizona, namely Humphreys, Agassiz, San Francisco, Fremont, Aubineau, Rees, Doyle, Baldy, Ord, Paradise Butte, Thomas, and Mount Warren. Highest among these are Humphreys Peak, Agassiz Peak, and the San Francisco Mountain. The Arizona mountain ranges separate her smooth-floored desert basins. In addition, there are some similar highland characteristics in the Transition Zone comprising of mountain ranges of rugged peaks separated by steep, narrow valleys.<<more>>
