Review & FAQ:
Formed millions of years ago by the eruption of almost 600 volcanoes, the San Francisco Peaks are the highest mountain range in the state. The mountains offer plenty of recreational activities all year round; there are plenty of hiking opportunities during the warm summer months, and the Arizona Snowbowl ski area is a popular destination for both cross-country and downhill skiers. Other spots of interest include the Elden Pueblo archaeological dig site, the hiking trail that passes through a lava tube known as the Lava River Cave, and the Cinder Hills Off Highway Vehicle Area, where off-road vehicles can race around on the designated trails.
