Beautiful little hidden gem in Arizona and a lovely retreat from the extreme heat in lake havasu city in the summer. Only an hour and 20 minutes away from paradise in the mountains!

A true Arizona gem. The mountains are host to many micro-climates ranging from chaparral and cholla forest to pinyon and ponderosa pine to small aspen and fir communities in the higher elevations. The wildlife is abundant with lizards, squirrels, deer, and elk and even the occasional black bear. Hualapai Peak is the high-point of Mohave County at about 8,300 feet. From the top one can nearly see across the entire Mohave Desert east to west. The Hualapai Mountain County Park encompasses over 2,000 acres of prime territory which several of the highest peaks in the range are accessed through. Hualapai Peak is on the outer boundaries of the park, but is most easily accessed using the park's trail system. The Arizona Peace Trail also runs through the range and passes several historically rich gold mines including the Flag Mine which was allegedly considered the most productive gold mine in Arizona for nearly 20 years during the mid to late 1800's. The Hualapai Range has been a vital extraction point for many valued mineral resources throughout the 19th and 20th century, most particularly that of copper, gold, molybdenum, and later beryllium. The Civil Conservation Corps built many roads and cabins, as well as the original site of the Hualapai Mountain Lodge (now Hualapai Mountain Resort). This range was once a safe-haven for the Hualapai natives who hunted and foraged these mountains for its abundance of wild foods and resources, and making good use of the clean, granite-filtered springs scattered throughout the range.
