Picacho Peak, about 35 miles northwest of Tucson. 1500' tall. Beautiful wildflowers in the spring. Good hiking.
"Even though bizarre-looking Picacho Peak looks much like a volcanic neck, it is actually the faulted, tilted and eroded remains of a sequence of lava flows, except for the summit, which contains a large block of Precambrian granite."
