Harquahala Mountains

The Harquahala Mountains (Yavapai: ʼHakhe:la) are the highest mountain range in southwestern Arizona, United States and are located southwest of the towns of Aguila and Wenden.

The name originated from the Yavapai 'ʼHakhe:la", which means "running water".

One has a natural opening or bridge through it appearing as an eye high up, and is the namesake for the peaks and Aguila (Spanish for eagle).

Its purpose was to study variations in the solar output as a possible factor in climate prediction.
