Yarnell is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States.

On June 30, 2013, the Yarnell Hill Fire destroyed half of the town and killed 19 firefighters.

[3] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 8.8 square miles (23 km2), all land.

Yarnell Hill, which Highway 89 descends 1,300 feet in four miles,[4] is a popular scenic drive.

It was dedicated in 2016 as a place to remember the 19 Granite Mountain Hotshot Firefighters who were lost on June 30, 2013, while fighting the Yarnell Hill Fire.

Several etched metal signs give information about the Fire and about how it affected the citizens of Yarnell and Peeples Valley.

The Shrine of St. Joseph of the Mountains is a Catholic religious monument which features statuary hidden in the boulders.

[5] The ghost towns of Stanton, Octave and Congress are nearby, as well as Harper's Flat, the first place on the right (east side of highway) at the top of Yarnell Hill.

A very interesting place to visit, although it is private property, the owners do allow people to drive through and take photos.

Other attractions include hiking, UTV riding, gold prospecting, shopping, and restaurants.
