The Patagonia Mountains are a 15-mile-long mountain range within the Coronado National Forest, and in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States. The Patagonia Mountains begin near the Mexico border east of Nogales, Arizona. Running north, they are geologically related to the Santa Rita Mountains, which continue north beyond Sonoita Creek. The Santa Rita Mountains line up to the north across the Sonoita Valley. Both the Patagonias and the Santa Ritas are east of the Santa Cruz River Valley. Arizona State Route 82 winds through the Sonoita Valley along Sonoita Creek which flows between the Santa Ritas and the Patagonias. Patagonia Lake and the town of Patagonia are located in the Sonoita Valley. Some of the important peaks are, Mount Washington, the highest peak at 7,221 feet, Veteran's Peak, 7,211 feet, and Guajalote Peak, 6,490 feet. North of Guajalote Peak lies Soldier Basin. Above and to the east of the basin lies the largest endemic stand of ponderosa and Chihuahua pines in the range.
