The city s name commemorates a Ponderosa Pine tree made into a tall flagpole in 1876 celebrating the United States Centennial. Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and along the western side of the largest stand of ponderosa pine in the United States at an elevation around 7,000 ft (2,000 m). Humphreys Peak, an ancient volcano and the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 ft (3,850 m), is immediately north of Flagstaff in the Kachina Peaks Wilderness of the San Francisco Mountain range. Old Route 66 (much of which is now Interstate 40) runs through Flagstaff between Barstow, California and the cities to the east and connects to the northern end of Interstate 17 which runs about a two and one-half hour drive south to end at Phoenix, Arizona. The town s name is mentioned in the lyrics to the song, Route 66 .
