Nature
Mistake Peak is a mountain summit in Gila County, Arizona, rising to 5,930 feet with a topographic prominence of 150 feet. Though relatively modest as a summit, it stands out for its unusual name. The name likely originated in a surveying error, when this summit was mistaken for another nearby peak. That probable mistake gave the mountain a distinctive identity and a small but memorable place among Arizona’s many named landforms.
