Kendrick Mountain is one of the less travelled trails in Flagstaff, AZ. It is a moderate hike at 9.2 miles round trip and reaches the elevation of 10,418' with an elevation gain of 2,000'. The views are worth the climb and there is a lookout tower at the top. After about 4 miles we reached an old Forest Service Lookout cabin built in 1912-13 that still has bunk beds and emergency supplies. The cabin would be a welcome shelter if you were caught on the mountain in a storm etc. We hiked through forest of Douglas Fir, aspen and Engelman Spruce trees. We hiked this trail on Memorial Day Weekend May 26, 2012. It was cold and windy with a high in the 60's.

15,000 acres of the Kendrick Wilderness was affected by the Pumpkin Fire in 2000. We passed large open areas that had been burned by this fire.
