The "peaks" are (known as) The San Francisco Peaks . . . just north of Flagstaff. Mt. Humphreys is the tallest, just shy of 13K feet.
They are the "rim" of an extinct volcano.
AZ Snowbowl is the ski resort, located within the peaks (Humphreys, Fremont and Agassiz). These peaks are sacred to Navajo, Hopi, Apache and Hualapai tribes.
Williams is 30 miles west of Flagstaff, on interstate 40 (the old Route 66), and directly south of the Grand Canyon (about an hour's scenic drive).
Williams is also home to the Grand Canyon Railroad . . . departing everyday at 9:30 AM and returning around 5:00 PM.
There are three lots in Williams I am considering purchasing. One has a view of the peaks and the other two, a view of Bill Williams Mountain. Nearest neighbors would be over one-half a mile (minimum), for each of the lots. All are in heavily wooded areas (pine, juniper, white spruce and oak).
Here's a couple of pictures of the peaks . . . not the best, but will give you an idea:
Who knows? Maybe I'll start taking pictures of the area, when I head back in October, and post them.
That's when the aspens will be popping!
Both you and Mark have set an extremely high-bar when it comes to nature pics . . . it's a tough act to follow!
