Review:
The majestic 12,360-foot Agassiz Peak is the second-highest in the state, but is often confused for the first because of its lofty appearance. The mountain has the honor of being home to an endangered flower known as the San Francisco Peaks groundsel; because of this, hiking above the treeline is only permitted during the winter months when the ground is covered in snow. The summit offers views all the way to the Grand Canyon, and overnight accommodation is available on the mountain at Agassiz Lodge. Visitors should be aware that they will need to obtain a Kachina Peaks Wilderness Access Permit.
