Awww...you forgot Gavilan Peak:
http://www.summitpost.org/view_object.php?object_id=152208

It's the prominent peak visible from I-17 as you pass by New River.  2980
feet.  Just east of my home.  It gets dusted with snow maybe every 3rd year
or so.  Major landmark, at least here in the New River area.
