The Sierra Club shares some special places to explore, enjoy and protect. San Francisco Peaks, Arizona The Navajo believe the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona have the power to heal both mind and body. The Havasupai believe the mounds, buttes and hills around the Peaks carry their prayers to the heights of the Peaks, and beyond to the Great Spirit. The Peaks are also sacred ground to the Hopi, Zuni, Hualapai, Yavapai and five Apache tribes. Rising from the ponderosa forest floor, the spectacular San Francisco Peaks include multiple forest and alpine life zones, and are home to a variety of wildlife including the threatened Mexican spotted owl. From as far as 100 miles away, people can view Mt. Humphries within the Peaks, the highest point in the state. Learn more about this place. What makes a place special to people like you?
