Mount Logan Wilderness
Geologically speaking, Mount Logan was an active volcanic area until only recently. Today, this spot in northwestern Arizona is sort of a local secret, not appearing on many maps. Just south of Mount Trumbull Wilderness and north of the Grand Canyon and within Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, this remote mountain region features basalt ledges breaking ponderosa pine forests (with some virgin growth) on the upper climbs, with piñon and juniper on the lower, steeper rocky slopes. Many small rodents inhabit the area, sharing their turf with mule deer, mountain lions, wild turkeys, coyotes, bobcats, spotted skunks, porcupines, and Kaibab squirrels.
