Overview
 Fremont is Arizona's 3rd highest mountain. It has the longest approach to its base than any other mountain in the Kachina Wilderness and does not see many visitors. There are also no standard routes. If you climb it you'll probably be the only one on the top.
There are 3 Routes to reach the base of Fremont.
From HWY 89 north of Flagstaff it is the sharpest peak and appears to be the highest.
From Flagstaff it is one of the dominate mountains that overlook the city.
Getting There
There is no standard way of getting to Fremont. They are listed under the route descriptions.
Red Tape
Fremont is off limits due to some very rare vegetation. It only grows here. It is not found on the other San Francisco Peaks. Climbing is off limits during Summer, but is a relatively easy Winter climb, when the crown is covered with snow. Chances of being caught by a ranger are remote but do exist. Local Indian tribes do consider this area sacred, and if caught on the peak could cause you more trouble than a ranger.
When To Climb
June -September
Camping
Camping is allowed in Locket Meadow. No camping fees. Camping also allowed at Schultz tank. People also camp at the saddle between Doyle and Fremont, but I'm not sure if it’s legal.
