List of mountains and hills of Arizona by height facts for kids
Arizona is a state in the southwestern United States known for its amazing deserts, canyons, and, of course, its tall mountains! This article lists some of the highest mountains and hills you can find across Arizona, starting with the tallest and going down to the smaller ones.
You'll see some special notes next to the mountain names:
- Bold names mean the mountain is the highest point in its county. Think of it as the "top dog" mountain for that specific area!
- A † symbol next to a mountain means it's a smaller peak that's very close to a taller mountain. It might be considered part of the bigger mountain.
