Arizona Trail: Anderson Mesa AZT-30

View of the San Francisco Peaks from Anderson Mesa. The Arizona National Scenic Trail Anderson Mesa Passage (AZT-30) traverses Anderson Mesa in the Lake Mary area southeast of Flagstaff. The passage begins northwest of Mormon Lake, crosses Lake Mary Road near Pinegrove Campground, and ascends Anderson Mesa, passing near several small wetlands on its way to Marshall Lake, the most well-known of these magical and important wildlife habitats. Between Vail and Prime Lakes, the trail skirts around observatory facilities to the edge of the mesa, providing a stunning panoramic view of Lake Mary. On Coconino National Forest maps, the Arizona Trail is labeled as trail number 87 for its entire traversal of the Forest.

Red Mountain Trail No. 159

Red Mountain is a volcanic cinder cone that rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. It is unusual in having the shape of a "U," and in lacking the symmetrical shape of most cinder cones. In addition, a large natural amphitheater cuts into the cone's northeast flank. Erosional pillars called "hoodoos" decorate the amphitheater, and many dark mineral crystals erode out of its walls. Studies by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Northern Arizona University scientists suggest that Red Mountain formed in eruptions about 740,000 years ago. The trailhead is located on U.S. Highway 180, 25 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona. The trail is an easy 1.5 miles through open terrain with fantastic views of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounding San Francisco Volcanic Field. There is a short (approximately 6 feet) ladder climb required just before entering the natural amphitheater of the cinder cone. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, February 2015.

Red Mountain Trail No. 159

Red Mountain is a volcanic cinder cone that rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. It is unusual in having the shape of a "U," and in lacking the symmetrical shape of most cinder cones. In addition, a large natural amphitheater cuts into the cone's northeast flank. Erosional pillars called "hoodoos" decorate the amphitheater, and many dark mineral crystals erode out of its walls. Studies by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Northern Arizona University scientists suggest that Red Mountain formed in eruptions about 740,000 years ago. The trailhead is located on U.S. Highway 180, 25 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona. The trail is an easy 1.5 miles through open terrain with fantastic views of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounding San Francisco Volcanic Field. There is a short (approximately 6 feet) ladder climb required just before entering the natural amphitheater of the cinder cone. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, February 2015.

Red Mountain Trail No. 159

Red Mountain is a volcanic cinder cone that rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. It is unusual in having the shape of a "U," and in lacking the symmetrical shape of most cinder cones. In addition, a large natural amphitheater cuts into the cone's northeast flank. Erosional pillars called "hoodoos" decorate the amphitheater, and many dark mineral crystals erode out of its walls. Studies by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Northern Arizona University scientists suggest that Red Mountain formed in eruptions about 740,000 years ago. The trailhead is located on U.S. Highway 180, 25 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona. The trail is an easy 1.5 miles through open terrain with fantastic views of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounding San Francisco Volcanic Field. There is a short (approximately 6 feet) ladder climb required just before entering the natural amphitheater of the cinder cone. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, October 2010.

Red Mountain Trail No. 159

Red Mountain is a volcanic cinder cone that rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. It is unusual in having the shape of a "U," and in lacking the symmetrical shape of most cinder cones. In addition, a large natural amphitheater cuts into the cone's northeast flank. Erosional pillars called "hoodoos" decorate the amphitheater, and many dark mineral crystals erode out of its walls. Studies by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Northern Arizona University scientists suggest that Red Mountain formed in eruptions about 740,000 years ago. The trailhead is located on U.S. Highway 180, 25 miles northwest of Flagstaff, Arizona. The trail is an easy 1.5 miles through open terrain with fantastic views of the San Francisco Peaks and surrounding San Francisco Volcanic Field. There is a short (approximately 6 feet) ladder climb required just before entering the natural amphitheater of the cinder cone. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, October 2010.
