Buck Mountains

The Buck Mountains are a small mountain range located in central Arizona, near the town of Flagstaff. The range is characterized by heavily forested slopes, rugged canyons, and a handful of prominent peaks. Geologically, the range is part of the Transition Zone between the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range provinces, resulting in a diverse landscape of sedimentary, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks. The terrain is generally steep and can be challenging for hikers, with several well-defined trails leading to scenic viewpoints and backcountry areas.
