Fremont Peak is a peak in the San Francisco Peaks, a mountain range that takes up a part of the Coconino National Forest in northern Arizona. It is the third highest point in the state of Arizona,[1] and named in honor John C. Frémont (1813–1890), an explorer and civil war general, who served as the governor of Arizona Territory from 1878 to 1882.[3] The peak is in the Kachina Peaks Wilderness on the Coconino National Forest.

Fremont offers year-round views of the south. It can be seen from Flagstaff, Arizona as the pointy peak on the right.
