SAN FRANCISCO PEAKS

three summits (Humphreys, Agassiz, and Fremont peaks) on the rim of an eroded extinct volcano 10 miles (16 km) north of Flagstaff in the Colorado Plateau in north-central Arizona, U.S. Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet ) is the state's highest point, from which places more than 150 miles (240 km) distant have been seen. In the 17th century, members of the Spanish mission at Oraibi named the summits after the founder of their order, St. Francis of Assisi. The snow-covered peaks are in the Coconino National Forest and support tourism and lumbering activities.
