Kendrick Mountains Wilderness

Located in the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests in Arizona.

Kendrick Mountain Wilderness is located on the eastern edge of the Chalender Ranger District, straddling a boundary with the Coconino National Forest.

Kendrick Mountain is one of many remnants of the vast San Francisco Mountain volcanic field that stretches from near Seligman on the west and east beyond Flagstaff to Canyon Diablo. Kendrick Mountain, with an elevation of 10,418 feet is forested to the very top with ponderosa pine, fir, spruce, oak and aspen. Much of the steeper parts of Kendrick contain old growth forest that contributes valuable habitat for the Mexican spotted owl, bear, and Northern goshawk. The north and west slope, with large meadows, are preferred areas for elk and deer. There are three well established trails on Kendrick Mountain that offer fantastic views of canyon lands on the north, striking panoramic views of the volcanic field, and to the south, the distant red rock of the Oak Creek Sycamore Canyon country.
