Southwest USA Peaks

I am exploring Arizona from my winter base in Tucson, Arizona. To help guide my explorations I list here the 73 peaks in Arizona with at least 2000 feet of topographic prominence. I hope to eventually visit all these peaks.

To increase coverage across Arizona I have extended the list to include the 180 Arizona peaks with at least 1400 feet of prominence. Many of these have no public access or are too difficult for me to consider attempting. Nevertheless, it is fun to track my progress as I explore Arizona.

I have also visited a few of the 47 peaks in New Mexico with at least 2000 feet of prominence. Several of these peaks have no public access or are difficult for me to visit during the winter half of the year. Yet, I hope to someday visit more of them.

Arizona's P2K Peaks

Here I list the Arizona Peaks with at least 2000 feet of topographic prominence. The peaks are organized according to the three physiographic regions of Arizona described in Wikipedia: Geography of Arizona.
