Arizona

Just north of Flagstaff, Arizona is a majestic mountain range called the San Francisco Peaks. This range was formed from volcanic rock. It is the focal point of the area and can be seen for miles around. The mountain’s elevation is one of the highest in the state. While Flagstaff is 7,000 feet above sea level, the San Francisco Peaks range measures 13,000 feet above sea level. Many of the Native American Indian tribes consider this mountainous area to be sacred. This range is located in Coconino County. The area is wooded with Alpine, Douglas fir, Aspen, Ponderosa pine, juniper and similar trees, forest plant life and grasslands. The mountain offers skiing and hiking opportunities to the local people as well as the tourists. Wildlife is abundant in the forest. You may see elk, deer, bears, wild turkeys, porcupines, racoons and a beautiful variety of birds. This scenic mountain is the foundation of the area’s tourism industry.
