The Pinaleno Mountains are the most dominant mountain feature in southeastern Arizona, the towering range rising over 7,000 feet over the Gila River Valley and the cities of Safford, Thatcher and Pima in Graham County. Mount Graham is the highest of the peaks that breach the 10,000-foot barrier, while nearby Hawk Peak is home to the Mount Graham Observatory, its buildings visible from below and even from vantage points on distant peaks. The whole range is often informally referred to as "Mount Graham".
Access Advice
Mount Graham is officially off-limits to the general public. The lands are managed by the Coronado National Forest, Safford District. The development of the observatories in the 1980s and environmental concerns about an endangered red squirrel, plus Native American concerns about the sanctity of the peak, prompted the forest service to declare all lands above 9,800 feet surrounding Mount Graham as a "refugium", meaning that no one is officially allowed. However, people do hike to the summit.
