Francisco Mt an ancient Volcano. They are now
that around with snow. We drove to the south of them
and then to the east of them. All about are volcanic
cranes, some high, but none as high as the San Fr.
Mts.
All about Flagstaff the fresh is being cut off, and
many to the south of the Santa Fe R.R. Farms
are like seen in many places about Flag staff.
About 25 miles north (Maine the volcanic
cones and flows chips out. Those are cinder cones, the
Lopilli being up to near 1/2 mil high; we are angular

Between the volcanic piles there are smaller
hills, but none are the striking features of southern
Arizona.
About 18 miles pm Grand Canyon we saw a
high and striking red butte on off the road. It is
known as Red Buttes, and to my surprise it is
a Triassic buttle capped by the younger lara.
The section is about as follows:
