Humphreys Peak (, (ナバホ語:''Dookʼoʼoosłííd'')) is the highest natural point in the U.S. state of Arizona, with an elevation of 〔 and is located within the Kachina Peaks Wilderness in the Coconino National Forest, about north of Flagstaff, Arizona. Humphreys Peak is the highest of a group of extinct volcanic peaks known as the San Francisco Peaks. The summit can be most easily reached by hiking the long Humphreys Trail that begins at the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort in the Coconino National Forest. The last of the trail traverses the only region of tundra in Arizona, at an elevation of more than . The treeline of Humphreys Peak is around . Hazards of the hike include a steep and rocky trail, risk of lightning strike, snow, and avalanche danger in winter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Humphreys Trail #51 )〕 Humphreys Peak was named in about 1870 for General Andrew A. Humphreys, a U.S. Army officer who was a Union general during the American Civil War, and who later became Chief of Engineers of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. However, a General Land Office map from 1903 showed the name ''San Francisco Peak'' applied to this feature (apparently borrowed from San Francisco Mountain on which the peak stands). Thus the United States Board on Geographic Names approved the variant name in 1911. In 1933, the application of the names was rectified. ==See also== * List of U.S. states by elevation * Mountain peaks of the United States * List of Ultras of the United States * San Francisco Peaks * List of mountains and hills of Arizona by height 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humphreys Peak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
