Mummy Mountain is the only mountain entirely in Paradise Valley. The other two mountain areas in Paradise valley are the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and Camelback Mountain. This mountain a 320 acre reserve got its name from its resemblance of a mummy laying down. To see this mummy you need to be somewhere on Shea Blvd on the far north of the mountain. This is a purely marketing decision; the name was though to be much better then Windy Gulch and who would want to live there in a Gulch full of wind vs. atop a mummy. The Mummy Mountain Preserve is in a trust. "The purpose of the Mummy Mountain Preserve Trust is to acquire, maintain, preserve and protect in perpetuity undeveloped real property and developed real property that can be returned to its natural state on and around the Mountain Preserve. The goal of the Trust is preservation of the natural landscape, desert plants, wildlife and scenic beauty of the mountain areas of the Town of Paradise Valley."
