Dragoon Mountains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragoon Mountains are a range of mountains located in Cochise County, Arizona. The range is about 25 mi (40 km) long, running on an axis extending south-south east through Willcox. The mountain range is one of Arizona's "sky islands".
Mt. Glen (7,512 ft/2,290 m) is highest point in the range according to the Columbia Gazetteer of the World.
Cochise Stronghold Memorial Park lies near Mt. Glen on the eastern slope of the range and the historic town of Tombstone, Arizona can be found at the southwestern portion of the range. There are also several ghost towns in the Dragoon Mountains including Gleeson and Courtland.
The Little Dragoon Mountains are the continuation of the Dragoon Mountains north of Texas Canyon.
