The Black Mountains of Arizona are located in northwest Arizona with Lake Mead bordering the north and Hoover Dam and the south-flowing Colorado River on the west; Kingman, Arizona is just east. It is a 130 mile north-south range of mountains and hills. Three wilderness areas are located in the mountains, one south of Lake Mead, and two in the extreme south of the mountain range, and west of the Sacramento Valley (Arizona).
