  • Die Whipple Mountains (Avii Kur'utat in der Sprache der Mohave-Indianer) liegen im südöstlichen Kalifornien, südlich von Lake Havasu City und nördlich der Stadt Parker, beide im Bundesstaat Arizona. Der Höhenzug der Whipple Mountains erstreckt sich über rund 40 Kilometer in Ost-West-Richtung. Er gehört zum San Bernardino County und bildet einen Teil der Colorado-Wüste, dem Nordwestabschluss der Sonora-Wüste. In den Whipple Mountains befinden sich viele Bergwerke, darunter die Independence Mine und die Bessie Mine. (de)
  • Las Montañas Whipple (Inglés: Whipple Mountains; Mojave: Avii Kur'utat​; Chemehuevi: Wiyaatuʷa̱​) están ubicadas en el este del Condado de San Bernardino, California. Están directamente al oeste del Río Colorado, Parker Dam y Lake Havasu; al sur de Needles, California; al norte de Parker, Arizona y Vidal, California; y al noreste de Vidal Junction, California. Las montañas forman un cambio de dirección importante del río Colorado de norte a sur a medida que cambia de dirección hacia el sureste, luego hacia el suroeste alrededor del perímetro este de las Montañas Whipple. El punto más alto de las montañas y Área natural de las Montañas Whipple (Whipple Mountains Wilderness) es Whipple Mountain a 1,259m. La porción occidental de la cadena montañosa tiene formaciones de color verde pálido, a diferencia de las volcánicas de color rojo ladrillo llamativas y abruptamente talladas en el este. Los accidentes geográficos son diversos y van desde fondos de valles y lavados hasta cañones de paredes empinadas, picos abovedados, puentes naturales y agujas erosionadas.​ Las montañas recibieron el nombre de Amiel Weeks Whipple, un teniente del ejército de los EE. UU. que inspeccionó la región en la década de 1840 y luego murió en Chancellorsville en la Guerra Civil.​ (es)
  • The Whipple Mountains (Mojave: Avii Kur'utat; Chemehuevi: Wiyaatuʷa̱) are located in eastern San Bernardino County, California. They are directly west of the Colorado River, Parker Dam, and Lake Havasu; south of Needles, California; north of Parker, Arizona and Vidal, California; and northeast of Vidal Junction, California. The mountain forms a major direction change of the north-south Colorado River as it changes directions to southeast, then southwest around the eastern perimeter of the Whipple Mountains. The highest point of the mountains, and the Whipple Mountains Wilderness is Whipple Mountain at 4,131 feet (1,259 m). The western portion of the mountain range has pale green formations, differing from the eastern, steeply carved and striking brick-red volcanics. Landforms are diverse and range from valley floors and washes to steep-walled canyons, domed peaks, natural bridges, and eroded spires. The mountains were named after Amiel Weeks Whipple, a lieutenant in the US Army who surveyed the region in the 1840s, and later died in Chancellorsville in the Civil War. (en)
