サンフランシスコのピークのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Park your car at this location and you will be right at the trailhead for Humphreys Peak Trail. Come early, especially on a weekend as the parking lot fills up quickly – and so does the trail. There are pit toilets at the trailhead.

A faint social trail with cairns leads to the wreckage of a B-24 Bomber that crashed into the mountain in September 1944 during a night test flight. Eight passengers from the army died in that tragic accident. There are still numerous parts of the plane scattered on a boulder field, so be careful if you try to get to this memorial.

Covering 6,510 acres, this area boasts diverse terrain and elevation changes, with Kendrick Mountain standing tall at 10,425 feet, making it one of the highest points in the region. The scenery is particularly stunning in the fall, adorned with the vibrant colors of changing leaves.

From Fremont Saddle, you will get views of Fremont Peak to the east and Agassiz Peak to the west. This spot on the trail is still nestled between some trees, but be prepared for more extreme weather conditions just a bit further up the mountain, as this spot sits right at treeline.

There is a reason that the Kachina Trail is one of the most popular trails outside of Flagstaff. This particular point on the trail offers an array of beautiful views. To be fair, this entire route is worthy of a camera.

Here, you will reach a small facilities shed with signage asking visitors to please not camp in this area. One has the choice to continue further up the inner basin towards the San Francisco Peaks or to journey downhill back towards Lockett Meadow. If continuing back towards the meadow, plan to spend the next ~1.5 miles journeying through dense Aspen groves, which line both sides of any trail you choose.

If you’re climbing up to Snowbowl, may as well stop by the Peking lot in your way down and enjoy the view!

Kendrick Peak is one of those spectacular mountains rising up from the highland plane in Northern Arizona. If you have a chance, hike it for great views that truly take you out of the ordinary world to experience nature in its unsullied glory.
