Etymology
Hi all!
I recently added a whole bunch of indigenous names to the beginning of the article. It got me thinking that it may be useful to add an /*Etymology*/ section--there's certainly a lot going on with the names, both those that are indigenous and those that are English/Spanish (for example: Spaniard explorers originally called the peaks Sierra sin Agua before friars named it Sierra de San Francisco). I may go about and start the section myself, but I'd really appreciate some help/pointers/tips with it if anyone is interested (I've never written a section before!). Do let me know.

Hiker Deaths?
There is a sentence about sudden weather changes bringing death to unprepared hikers on the Peaks. While it can get cold on the mountain during a monsoon storm, sudden large temperature swings are not that common and storms are easy to see coming in. Unlike Cascade volcanoes, this is not a particularly large mountain or one that requires much skill or time. I highly doubt there has every been a death due to hypothermia without extenuating circumstances. I think we need a source for this or the section should be removed.

Where's the "Geology"?
How come no geology or geological history?
Just curious. 2600:8800:785:1300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
"a remnant"?
This is "just north of Flagstaff and a remnant of the former San Francisco Mountain". I don't follow this part of the text. Is it suggesting that SFM was a prehistorical piece of geology? Or an older name for the highest of the Peaks? I'm guessing the latter, but either way a better wording is needed. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 11:25, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
