Name that mountain Volume 3

Looks like some of that sweet southern Arizona granite…

Fire and Ice in the Supes?

Is this in the Superstition Mountains?

Further south. Not a commonly climbed formation, but there was a write up about this formation in the AAJ a few years ago. 

Cathedral Rock, Chiricahuas 

You got it George

Name the highest summit along the caldera rim of this mountain:

Another perspective:

That second photo sure looks like the San Francisco Peaks with Humphreys Peak as the high point on the left but the first photo doesn’t correlate with that.

Flex Local wins the cigar! I took the pics while driving 75mph by Flag on Monday. More dangerous than climbing!

Sorry about the delay. That first photo you posted does not look like the SF Peaks at all. Where was it taken from? The bottom photo for sure, taken from I-40 just west of Flag.

Here’s the new one for you

I might have taken it around Williams or a bit to the east. I don’t recall exactly because I have trouble multitasking: driving and shooting pics is hard enough; thinking at the same time is too much. I chose to post that image because I was trying to make a familiar mountain look unfamiliar. 

The Grand Canyon tower is Excalibur. 

George I refuse to believe that first photo you posted is the San Francisco Peaks. 

Kevin got it, Excalibur it is.

I have to agree with him on that first photo George posted. I don’t believe that’s the San Francisco Peaks. It just just doesn’t look like that from any direction nor is the vegetation like that anywhere near that close to the mountains.

George, I’m calling you out for poor memory. Your photo in question isn’t of the San Francisco peaks, but instead is of Hualapai Peak and was taken in Kingman. Here’s a screenshot of Google Streetview (35°13'01"N 113°59'48"W) for matching:

Zooming out, the street sign tells us you were still 142 miles from Flagstaff:

Keep the game rolling with Kevin’s photo, but I wanted to offer some closure for befuddled Flagstaff folks that felt like your photo didn’t sit right with what you said it was.

Oh shit. I forgot that I took that picture of Hualapai from the passenger seat, earlier in the day. It was in my photo library next to the other and thought it looked like the same caldera. Sorry for the consternation! 

Kevin is that peak 4810? 

you got it Steve. Pik 4810, Karavshin Kyrgyzstan
