Kachina Peaks Wilderness, Mountain wilderness in Coconino County, United States.
The 18,616-acre Kachina Peaks Wilderness contains multiple summits, including Humphreys Peak, which reaches an elevation of 12,643 feet within Coconino National Forest.
The wilderness area formed from a composite volcano that experienced its last eruption approximately two million years ago, leaving behind moraines and former stream beds.
Several Native American tribes, including the Havasupai, Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni, maintain religious shrines within this land, considering the peaks spiritually significant.
Visitors need Forest Service permits for backcountry travel, with group sizes limited to 12 people, and camping prohibited above the tree line and Inner Basin.
The wilderness preserves a two-square-mile zone of arctic-alpine vegetation, including the San Francisco Peaks groundsel plant that grows exclusively in this location.
