How high is Mogollon Rim in Arizona?
Mogollon Rim
Much of the land south of the Mogollon Rim lies 4,000 to 5,000 feet (1,200 to 1,500m) above sea level, with the escarpment rising to about 8,000ft (2,400m). Extensive Ponderosa pine forests are found both on the slopes of the Rim and on the plateau north of it. The Mogollon Rim is a major floristic and faunal boundary, with species characteristic of the Rocky Mountains living on the top of the plateau, and species native to the Mexican Sierra Madre Occidental on the slopes below and in the Madrean sky islands (high, isolated mountain ranges) further south.
