The San Francisco Mountains, crowned by the Humphrey Peak towering at 12,670 feet,
create an island of Ponderosa forest
in the midst of the desert of the high Coconino plateau. Sacred to the Navajo and surrounding
tribes, the Peaks provide year-round outdoor recreation with hiking, mountain biking, camping,
fishing and hunting. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon, sits only eighty
miles northwest and brings people from all over the world. With over 300 days of sunshine a year,
it is no wonder that people of all ages and cultures have found a home in Flagstaff.
