The Moccasin Mountains is an 〔 〕〔 〕 mountain range located at the Arizona–Utah border in Mohave County, Arizona, and a small north section in Kane County, Utah. The range comprises, at lower elevations, the Vermilion Cliffs, as part of its northeast, east, south, and southwest borders. Moccasin Canyon in the center-south, and Twomile Wash at the southeast lie in sections of the Vermilion Cliffs, and most of the entire mountains are part of the Kaibab Indian Reservation. Moccasin, Arizona lies at the downhill stretch of Moccasin Canyon; Kaibab lies southeast, with both townsites surrounded by the Vermilion Cliffs. Pipe Spring National Monument is south of Kaibab. In Utah, the northeast of the mountains are bordered by Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. ==Description== The mountains are mostly a circular section and about long north-to-south. The southeast is defined by a canyon section, with the southeast-flowing Twomile Wash; origins of the wash, and its canyon reaches almost the mountain range centerpoint. The townsites of Moccasin and Kaibab are in this southeast section. Point Spring is located just northeast of the towns. Two other springs are located in the range. At the southwest is Meeks Spring, at the origin of Potter Canyon, which trends southwest, then almost due-south. The central northeast of the range contains Willow Spring. Another spring is just east, Red Cliff Spring, at the base of the Vermilion Cliffs, and at the south terminus of the Moquith Mountains, (below Ed Lamb Point). 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「Moccasin Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
