Sightseeing

Hike for as long or as little as you like with the stunning backdrop of the SanFrancisco Peaks- stop along provided exercise stations for a work out, bike, run or boulder at this historic former amusement site. Herds of deer often watch you while munching in the meadows. And if you chose to scramble among the rocks- you may find some petroglyphs as well as historic trash left by settlers. It’s a treasure trove in the heart of the city. Enjoy!

We love living in the high desert experiencing the four seasons and getting outside as often as possible. And after hiking/biking/ wandering- Flagstaff is a foodie town with a variety of eats and local breweries coffee shops. Many provide takeout/curbside service to stay safe and still enjoy local fare.

We love the salmon tacos and the mushroom enchiladas- but you can’t go wrong here- the burros are delicious, especially enchilada style- go all out and order “Christmas style” - and your burro will be smothered in both red and green chili. Enjoy!

Their pastrami sandwich would be on our last meal menu. It'll tempt the staunchest vegetarian. Salads and local beers and sodas also flavorful and they have a great take out set up.

Traveler advice

What to pack

Flagstaff is all about layers.

The locals say: Don’t like the weather? Wait 15 minutes. Hot, cold, warm, chilly- and down right just right- you get it all in this mountain town. So layer up, y’all!
