Yavapai County may not be as large as its predecessor but it’s still larger than three US states – Rhode Island, Delaware & Connecticut, and the District of Columbia – covering 8,128 square miles. The county’s geography is pretty interesting, with the Sonoran Desert at the southern border and the Coconino Plateau in the north and the Mogollon Rim in the east. The highest point in the county is the Mount Union, which reaches 7,979 feet.

There are also plenty of wilderness areas that you can visit if you enjoy the outdoors as much as the next person. If you are used to going out in nature, there are a lot of locations to visit whenever you feel like it and since there are so many options to choose from you surely won’t get bored.
