Sitting at a cozy elevation of 7,000 feet at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff is home to a refreshing lifestyle filled with beautiful scenery, outdoor opportunities and fantastic entertainment choices. In fact, in November of 2005 Men’s Journal listed Flagstaff Number 2 on its “Best Places to Live” list, and National Geographic dubbed Flagstaff one of the “10 Great Towns That Will Make You Feel Young” in its November 2005 issue.
With cool summer weather and mild winters, there are activities for the entire family year-round. In the summer months, enjoy hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding and golf. Downhill and cross country skiing and ice skating will keep you active all winter long.
Along with an abundance of outdoor activities, this mountain town offers plenty of opportunities for dining, shopping and nightlife and has an active cultural scene with concerts, music festivals, arts and crafts fairs and several museums. And it’s to home to Northern Arizona University, one of three state universities in Arizona.
You can also make Flagstaff your home base for exploring some of the world’s most impressive natural wonders including the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Monument Valley and the red rocks of Sedona. Or visit local attractions such as Lowell Observatory, The Museum of Northern Arizona and The Arboretum of Flagstaff.
