Join the Arizona Summer Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge™
The 3rd Annual Arizona Summer Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge™ brings people together around one goal: having fun hiking six iconic Arizona mountains near Sedona and Flagstaff, between May 1st and October 31st.
Your hikes help make a difference, by helping underserved youth experience the wilderness through Big City Mountaineers.
The Arizona Summer Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge is a series of iconic mountain hikes in the Sedona/Flagstaff area that will get you ready for your next big adventure.
Bear Mountain
This strenuous out-and-back hike in the Red Rock District of the Coconino National Forest is mostly unshaded, steep, and difficult. You'll earn the panoramic views on this journey.
Wilson Mountain
The tallest of the red sandstone peaks surrounding Sedona, Wilson Mountain provides some of the best views of the region.
Bill Williams Mountain
Bill Williams Mountain marks the traditional boundary of lands inhabited by early ancestors of the Hopi people. This trail dates back to 1902, though hikers still climb to the summit for the views.
Mount Elden
This lava dome features wildflowers, forested trails, panoramic views and a fire lookout tower at the summit. When it's clear, you can see Oak Creek Canyon, the Painted Desert, Sunset Crater and Flagstaff below.
Kendrick Peak
Atop one of the highest peaks in the San Francisco Mountains you'll find a fire lookout tower that was originally established in the early 1900s and remains actively staffed today.
Humphreys Peak
The highest point in Arizona and the 26th most prominent peak in the lower 48 states. The summit is sometimes referred to as "Arizona's little Colorado". The views are tremendous, extending from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to the desert mountains near Phoenix.
