Review:

Home to the Mount Graham International Observatory area, Mount Graham is one of the Pinaleno Mountains in southeastern Arizona. The summit sits at 10,724 feet, but hikers are required to stay under 9,800 feet because of the mountain's sacredness to the Native Americans as well as the presence of an endangered squirrel species.

Some people choose to hike all the way to the summit regardless, but much better views can be had from the summits of nearby mountains such as Heliograph Peak and Ladybug Peak. The access road to the mountain is often closed during the winter due to poor road conditions.
