Sitgreaves Mountain is a mountain peak located within Kaibab National Forest in Coconino County, Arizona. It is located between Flagstaff and Williams, Arizona and can be easily seen by drivers along Interstate 40. [4][2]

Like neighboring Kendrick Peak, this mountain is volcanic in origin, forming a part of the San Francisco Volcanic Field. It is a series of overlapping lava domes, characterized by numerous summits and false peaks. It is located along the same fault line that formed Kendrick Peak and Bill Williams Mountain.[1]
