context_page_description: The Buckskin Mountains is a mountain range in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. The range lies just east of the north-south Colorado River, and borders south of the east-west, west-flowing Bill Williams River.
context_section_description: The southeast section of the Buckskin Mountains are part of a three-mountain range thrust-faulted system, with the Harcuvar and Harquahala Mountains. The highest peak in the section is Battleship Peak, 2,569 feet (783 m), at the southwest end, and directly northeast of Bouse in the Ranegras Plain, and the Bouse Wash Drainage.
  The west end of the mountains abut the north-south Colorado River. Located here is the Gibraltar Mountain Wilderness, with Gibraltar Mountain, at 1,566 feet (477 m).
  The entire north perimeter of the range is the Bill Williams River. Buckskin Mountain State Park is at its confluence in the northwest at the Colorado River. Abutting the Bill Williams in the center is the Swansea Wilderness; the northeast contains the Rawhide Mountains Wilderness on both sides of the river. The northeast of the range borders Alamo Lake State Park-(Alamo Lake), which also borders the Rawhide Mountains on the lake's northwest.
  Another peak in the central-west, away from the range's east-west centerline, at the south is Planet Peak, at 3,141 feet (957 m). Planet Peak is directly adjacent at the northeast of the Cactus Plain and the East Cactus Plain Wilderness. The most easily identifiable Peak is "Black Peak," at 1,594 feet (486 m) to the South East. It is known to locals as "P Mountain" due to the large white "P" painted on its west side by the nearby town of Parker.
