A view of Granite Mountain from Williamson Valley. Topping off at 7,628 feet, Granite Mountain covers approximately 12 square miles. Originally known as Mount Gurly honoring the first governor of the Arizona Territory. Gurley, a congressman from Ohio, was appointed by President Lincoln to be governor but died before taking office. The southwest face has a sheer granite cliff 500 feet high providing excellent rock climbing opportunities.

Granite Mountain is at the northern end of the Sierra Prietas and borders Williamson Valley on the east, the Santa Maria Mountains on the northwest and Skull Valley on the west.
