Humphreys Peak is the highest point of Arizona, as well as the highest of a group of dormant volcanic peaks called the San Francisco Peaks. 
Ricardo's ascent of this peak was back in August 1999. Ulyana went up with friends, Chris and Shawna, after teaching a planetary field geology class in the nearby lava fields for the International Institute for Astronautical Sciences. They encountered a lot of snow during this spring ascent, as well as below-freezing temperatures at the summit, due to high winds.

State highpoint rank: 12th
