Medications can boost or lower HDL. HDL levels are sometimes improved by drugs used to lower LDL and triglyceride levels â such as prescription niacin; fibrates such as gemfibrozil (Lopid); and certain statins, particularly simvastatin (Zocor) and rosuvastatin (Crestor).
Similar scenery is found in several more remote sites nearby, and for hikers, the best place is the 9,799 acre Granite Mountain Wilderness, northwest of Prescott; here a pristine area of chaparral, rocky hills and pinyon-juniper pine woodland is crossed by several trails, all centered on 7,626 foot Granite Mountain.
Granite features prominently in the rocks around Prescott, central Arizona; most visible are the Granite Dells along Highway 89 on the north side of town, where for several square miles the land is covered by large rounded cliffs and boulders of pinkish-grey granite, between Willow Creek Reservoir and Watson Lake.
