Elevation7400 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryPonderosa pine dominates the canopy here, providing substantial shade and the vanilla-bark smell characteristic of these trees at this elevation. The Pinaleños are a classic sky island range, rising from 3,000-foot desert grasslands to Mount Graham's 10,720-foot summit nearby. Each thousand feet of elevation brings a different plant community. From this spot at 7,400 feet, you're in the transition zone between oak-juniper woodlands below and mixed conifer forests above. Wildlife sightings are common enough that reviews mention securing food against animals.

Lodging & AccommodationsNo hotel-style lodging accommodations are available, but the campground supports group camping.

Programs & ActivitiesNo cultural or educational programs are noted.
