As a state highpointer, Humphrey's Peak in Arizona was on my bucket list. The trailhead was easy to find. The trail itself was not well maintained and rather rocky, which wasn't too bad going up, but required a lot of caution descending to protect your knees.
A common misperception is that this peak is the highest in Arizona because you unable to see Humphry's Peak behind it from Flagstaff, Arizona. It's summit is 12,356 feet above sea level. The mountain is closed to climbers in winter due to snow and protecting the fragile tundra enviroment.
