What was once the enormous San Francisco Mountain is now a collective of six summits surrounding a quiet caldera. With a 12,643-foot (3,853-meter) elevation, Humphreys Peak is its tallest summit, followed by Agassiz, Fremont, Aubineau, Reese, and Doyle Peaks. Winter playgrounds include Snowbowl, Flagstaff Nordic Center, and Wing Mountain. For a scenic drive, try the 70-mile Volcanoes and Ruins Loop, 44-mile Peaks Loop, 26-mile Schultz Pass Road, or 15-mile Snowbowl Road.
One of the most popular activities in the San Francisco Peaks is hiking, with several notable trails. Inner Basin Trail showcases beautiful meadows, fall colors, and lush, high-elevation scenery. For the adventurous, hikers can summit Humphreys Peak from the Snowbowl parking lot. Honor the importance of The Peaks to native populations by visiting Elden Pueblo, an ancient Sinagua village.
