Carrizo Mountains

The Carrizo Mountains are a small mountain range located in eastern Arizona. The range rises abruptly from the surrounding desert, with rugged, rocky peaks and steep canyons. The terrain is characterized by exposed granite formations, sparse vegetation, and narrow winding canyons. Elevations range from around 4,500 feet in the foothills to over 7,800 feet at the highest summits. The Carrizo Mountains are part of the Mogollon Rim ecosystem, providing habitat for diverse wildlife including mule deer, bighorn sheep, black bears, and numerous bird species.
