San Francisco Peaks

San Francisco Peaks

Located in Northern Arizona, in what is now the Coconino National Forest, the San Francisco Peaks are sacred to many native cultures, including the Navajo, Hopi and Zuni. They play a central role in the Hopi creation narrative, and are a focal point of worship in all cultures.

I came across this view from Sacred Peaks Trail on a recent trip to Flagstaff, home of Northern Arizona University. If you visit the South Rim of the Grand Canyon via Flagstaff, you should have a good view of these important volcanic mountains.
