Granite Mountain is a difficult hike that is basically a long uphill grind, so please be sure you are in shape for this hike.
There are no reliable sources of water along the trail, so please bring plenty of fluids to drink.
In addition, there are some sections of trail with steep drop-offs which may be challenging if you suffer from vertigo or a fear of heights.
