Instead, the area includes both Arizona&#x27;s highest mountain—San Francisco Mountain, with peaks rising to 12,633 feet—and the State&#x27;s youngest volcano—Sunset Crater, which erupted less than 1,000 years ago Volcanic eruptions may seem destructive but they are among the beneficial forces of a living planet: forces that build mountains, create oceans, and provide for live. Indigenous people lived seasonally in the vicinity of the San Francisco Peaks for at least 11,000 years, sharing ideas, new technologies and beliefs. Then, Earth will be a dead planet much like Mars. Its summit collapsed, perhaps in a violent blast as did Mount St. Helens in 1980, creating a large caldera, known as the Inner Basin. In time, that molten base began to erupt in the San Francisco volcanic field, creating thousands of cinder cones, long lava flows, the stratovolcano known as San Francisco Mountain, and lava domes like Mount Elden near present day Flagstaff. San Francisco Peaks in the San Francisco Volcanic Field are located outside of Flagstaff Arizona. San Francisco Peaks located about 7 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona are considered sacred by Native Americans.

Magma, periodically relieved of gas pressure, squeezed out of the base of the cone as glowing liquid lava, creating a structurally complex flow covering 2 sq miles (5 sq km).
