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.
Stone Mountain may be compared to an iceberg in that only. the tip of the granite body is above ground. Approximately 300 million years ago (Whitney, 1976), the Stone MounÂ­. tain granite' was intruded, or pushed up while still molten, into the preÂ­. existing rock at a depth of about 16 km (10mi) below the surface.
