Kendrick Peak rises to a height of {{convert|10,425|ft}}, which makes it the 11th or 12th tallest summit (depending on the source) in Arizona.[4] Kendrick Peak is between 2.7 and 1.4 million years old and consists primarily of dacite and rhyolite flows that were partly buried by andesite according to the USGS. Kendrick Peak is in the Kendrick Mountain Wilderness which is administered jointly by the Kaibab National Forest and the Coconino National Forest. A fire lookout, manned by the United States Forest Service during the week and by volunteers on the weekends, has stood on top of Kendrick Peak since the early 1900s. There are three maintained trails to the summit of Kendrick Peak - Kendrick Mountain Trail, Pumpkin Trail and Bull Basin Trail. Along the Kendrick Mountain Trail, near the summit of Kendrick Peak, there is a Colorado Pinyon (Pinus edulis) growing at an altitude of nearly 10,400 feet (3,169.9 meters). This is a rare high-elevation example of this species growing amongst Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and limber pine (Pinus flexilis). In the year 2000 the Kendrick Wilderness and Kendrick Peak were involved in a large wildfire, the results of which are still quite evident to hikers or visitors to the peak. In an effort to return the forest to its "pre-fire" state, cattle are sometimes grazed near the Kendrick Mountain Trail trailhead. GeologyKendrick Peak is a dome volcano,[5] with some having multiple extrusion vents. Other Arizona examples of dome volcanoes are Mount Elden, Bill Williams Mountain, and Sitgreaves Mountain.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite ngs |pid=FQ0560 |name=Kendrick |accessdate=2016-08-18}} 2. ^{{cite peakbagger |pid=3937 |name=Kendrick Peak, Arizona |accessdate=2013-01-23}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/kaibab/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=11677&actid=50 |title=Kendrick Mountain Trail |accessdate=2016-08-17}} 4. ^{{cite peakbagger |lid=21370 |name=Arizona 10,000-foot Peaks |accessdate=2013-01-23}} 5. ^1 {{cite book |first=Ivo |last=Luchhitta |title=Hiking Arizona's Geology |location=Seattle, WA |publisher=Mountaineers Books |year=2001 |pages=128–131 |isbn=978-0898867305}} External links{{commons category|Kendrick Peak (Arizona)|Kendrick Peak}}
