October 8th, 2022: Join me on this final stretch of my ascent of Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona. The USGS officially lists Humphreys Peak as 12,633 feet above sea level. Turn up your volume to get a grasp of the hellacious wind. • From Wikipedia: “The San Francisco Peaks are a volcanic mountain range in the San Francisco volcanic field in north central Arizona, just north of Flagstaff and a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain. The highest summit in the range, Humphreys Peak, is the highest point in the state of Arizona at 12,633 feet in elevation.” • From the United States Geological Survey: “San Francisco Mountain is the only stratovolcano in the San Francisco Volcanic Field and was built by eruptions between about 1 and 0.4 million years ago. Since then, much of the mountain has been removed to create the “Inner Basin.” The missing material may have been removed quickly and explosively by an eruption similar to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, or it may have been removed slowly and incrementally by a combination of large landslides, water erosion, and glacial scouring.” • #roamingbenji #humphreyspeak #flagstaff #arizona #hiking #mountains
