Agassiz Peak, Mountain summit in Coconino County, Arizona, US
Agassiz Peak rises to 12,356 feet in elevation within the San Francisco Peaks range, making it the second-highest mountain peak in Arizona.
The mountain received its name from Louis Agassiz, a 19th-century Swiss-American scientist who made substantial contributions to glacial geology research.
The San Francisco Peaks, including Agassiz Peak, hold sacred significance for multiple Native American tribes in the southwestern United States.
Access to the peak remains restricted except during winter months when snow cover protects the endangered San Francisco Peaks groundsel plant species.
The summit stands as the southernmost point exceeding 12,000 feet in elevation across the continuous United States.
