The Harcuvar Mountains are a narrow mountain range in western-central Arizona, USA. The range lies just east of the north-south Colorado River, and south of the east-west, west-flowing Bill Williams River, from Alamo Lake. The range is part of a three-range sequence of mildly ''arc-shaped ranges'', and two ''intermountain range valleys'' in the Maria fold and thrust belt, a region in western-central Arizona and southeast Southern California, with the Colorado River flowing south through the western part of the belt. The fold-and-thrust-belt region contains numerous plains, valleys, and mountain ranges, about 30 landforms in all. The range is a narrow range about 25 mi long, and 5 mi wide, and trends southwest to northeast. The McMullen Valley is the southeast border of the range, and is traversed by U.S. Route 60. Four peaks are found in the range; the highest peak is Smith Peak (Arizona), in the northeast, but not easily accessible by road. In the southwest, is Harcuvar Peak, at ,〔(Harcuvar Peak, Highpoints, and Prominence Peaks )〕 accessible by unimproved road, via Cottonwood Pass. Two other peaks lie in the center of the range; one lies adjacent and north of Cunningham Pass, called ECC Peak, at , and further northeast, ECP Peak, at . == Regional access == One of the more important aspects of the Harcuvar Mountains is the major, and southern access route to Alamo Lake State Park approximately upriver on the Bill Williams River. The access road is the southern access to the lake, about 30 miles of unimproved road. It begins at Wenden, Arizona and immediately climbs through the Harcuvars to ''Cunningham Pass''. Another 24 miles traverses the Butler Valley's northeast, and the flatlands northeast of the Buckskin Mountains. The entire southeast perimeter of the Harcuvar Mountains borders the McMullen Valley, with U.S Route 80. The series of communities starting at the southwest are Vicksburg, Hope, & Harcuvar, (also located south of a small range, the Granite Wash Mountains), then Salome, Wenden, and lastly after a straight stretch, Aguila. At Aquila roads connect either northeast, or east to U.S. Route 93, the road to Kingman–Phoenix 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harcuvar Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
