Huachuca Mountains

The Huachuca Mountains are a small but diverse mountain range located in southeastern Arizona, near the US-Mexico border. The range rises dramatically from the surrounding high desert, with rugged terrain and steep slopes covered in oak-pine-juniper woodlands. Several canyons and riparian areas cut through the mountains, providing habitat for a variety of wildlife. The highest peak, Miller Peak, reaches an elevation of over 9,400 feet. The Huachucas are part of the Sky Islands region, an area of isolated mountain ranges that harbor unique ecological communities.
