The Geologic Oddity in Arizona; Flagstaff's Recent Glaciers

It was not so long ago that Arizona contained several hundred foot thick and more than a mile long glaciers. These glaciers existed as little as 10,000 years ago north of the city of Flagstaff within the San Francisco Mountain complex. They grew and contracted 4 times, before finally disappearing altogether. Today, you can find remnants of glacial till and moraines on the east-northeast section of the San Francisco Mountain.
