Overview: Completely off-limits since 1988 due to the Mount Graham Red Squirrel Refugium closure. Plain View Peak is the 5th highest peak in the Pinaleno Mountains of southeastern Arizona. It is located 0.75 miles southeast of Mount Graham itself, at the top of Gibson Canyon. Plain View Peak was burned severely in the 2004 Gibson Fire, although there appears to be sparse aspen regrowth coming up in places among the thousands of burned logs.
