Welcome to Flagstaff, Arizona, elevation 7000 ft. above sea level, and nestled in the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the USA. Just 90 minutes from the Grand Canyon to the north, and 45 minutes from Sedona to the south, the town is situated at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, and spread out along Historic Rt. 66. With a population of about 60,000, Flagstaff has the “feel” of a small town with the diversity and opportunities of a larger city. Flagstaff is also home to Northern Arizona University and Coconino Community College.
With four distinct seasons, and fresh mountain air, Flagstaff boasts year-round activities. From skiing and snowboarding at the local Arizona Snowbowl Ski Resort, to mountain biking, hiking, camping, fishing, and GOLFING, youÂ’ll find it all in Flagstaff. There are museums, the symphony, Grand Canyon Railway, and Lowell Observatory, along with parks, aquatic and recreation centers, an ice rink, and much, much more. Winter snows melt into Spring, which gives way to mild summers (avg. daytime summer temp is 82 degrees). A crisp Fall, with the Aspen trees displaying their full range of autumn colors, is a sight to behold. See website at http://www.postlets.com/res/2002998. |
