At an elevation of 7,000 feet (2,135 meters), Flagstaff is your<br />

Flagstaff at a Glance<br />
rich with history and culture<br />
Flagstaff ’s Early History<br />
Although Flagstaff became an<br />
incorporated town in 1894, the<br />
modern history really dates back to<br />
1876 when settlers passing through<br />
honored the nation’s centennial by<br />
raising an American fl ag up a pine<br />
tree. Their “fl ag staff” became a<br />
landmark for those who followed,<br />
and eventually became the town’s<br />
namesake. The western expansion<br />
of the railroad in the 1880s<br />
attracted merchants and saloonkeepers to set up shop for<br />
the railroad workers and lumbermen. Within a couple of<br />
years, Flagstaff was a thriving town of railroad, lumber and<br />
ranching industries. Early families such as the Riordans<br />
Riordan Mansion State Historic Park<br />
(lumber) and Babbitts (ranching) have descendants who<br />
still live and work in Flagstaff today. In the ensuing century<br />
since, the formation of the Normal School would become<br />
NAU, Lowell Observatory was established, and the surrounding<br />
area became a vast National Forest.<br />
Native Peoples<br />
Flagstaff is in the heart of the<br />
Colorado Plateau, a region<br />
known for its rich Native<br />
American history. Evidence of<br />
the earliest native cultures in<br />
the Flagstaff area can be found<br />
in the cliff dwellings of Walnut<br />
Canyon National Monument<br />
and the rock-walled pueblos of<br />
Wupatki National Monument<br />
where the ancient Sinagua and Anasazi tribes inhabited<br />
more than 800 years ago. This Native American heritage<br />
still permeates the culture today, as tribal lands cover more<br />
than 31,000 square miles in this region. Flagstaff’s Museum<br />
of Northern Arizona is the perfect spot to learn about the<br />
past, present and future of Native American culture on the<br />
Colorado Plateau.<br />
Route 66 Nostalgia<br />
Route 66 is synonymous<br />
with the classic American<br />
road trip, and that<br />
carefree spirit is still<br />
alive in Flagstaff today.<br />
When Route 66 became a<br />
highway in 1921, Flagstaff<br />
was established as a popular stop on the iconic highway.<br />
Famous musical acts making their way to Los Angeles<br />
would stop at the Museum Club for a gig, and the Eagles’<br />
classic “Take it Easy” was written by musician Jackson<br />
Browne after he found himself “standing on the corner in<br />
Flagstaff, Arizona” when traveling Route 66<br />
to California. Winslow, Arizona was<br />
easier to sing and made the fi nal lyrics,<br />
but Route 66 nostalgia is abundant<br />
around Flagstaff. Construction of<br />
the modern interstate may have<br />
relegated it to “Historic Route 66,”<br />
but modern travelers can still have<br />
that iconic experience.<br />

Wildlife Watching<br />
Flagstaff is home to many wild<br />
characters, but some of the most<br />
interesting ones are out in the<br />
mountains, forests and lakes<br />
that surround this area. Northern<br />
Arizona’s diverse terrain makes it<br />
ideal for a wide variety of wildlife.<br />
While you’re out on the hundreds<br />
of trails in and around Flagstaff,<br />
don’t be surprised if you encounter elk, mule deer or coyotes.<br />
Those that prefer their wildlife sightings to be high in the<br />
sky will delight in the birdwatching opportunities, with<br />
bald eagles, Mexican spotted owls and several species of<br />
neotropical migratory birds making their way through<br />
Flagstaff. For optimal wildlife watching, remember to stick<br />
to the sidelines and let the animals be themselves.<br />
The Ponderosa Pine<br />
Flagstaff boasts many superlatives,<br />
but perhaps the most appropriate<br />
one is the fact that the town is<br />
located in the largest contiguous<br />
ponderosa pine forest in the world.<br />
The ecosystems that surround<br />
Flagstaff span from piñon-juniper<br />
woodland to alpine tundra, but it is<br />
the ponderosa pine forest in-between<br />
that dominates the area.<br />
This towering tree<br />
only grows at elevations between 6,000<br />
and 8,000 feet, making Flagstaff’s<br />
7,000-foot elevation the perfect home.<br />
Explore the outdoors and admire this<br />
beautiful conifer, with its characteristic<br />
long needles and oversized seeded cones.<br />
Wild bull elk<br />

Climate & Comfort<br />
weather in the high country<br />
The following are tips to help you feel your best and experience<br />
the high country in optimal comfort: 1.) At high altitude the<br />
sun is more intense and it is possible to experience fatigue and<br />
shortness of breath. Drink plenty of water, rest often and wear<br />
sunglasses and a hat. 2.) Spending time outdoors at 7,000 feet<br />
can lead to sunburn on cool and cloudy days as quickly as on<br />
warm and sunny ones. Remember to apply sunscreen before you<br />
venture out. 3.) Make layered clothing a key factor when packing.<br />
Be prepared for possible (and sudden) changing weather<br />
including snowfall in the winter months.<br />
What to Pack<br />

layered clothing appropriate for the season; sunscreen and sunglasses<br />
Spring/Summer (April-August)<br />
shorts or light pants; short and long sleeve shirts; light jacket, sweatshirt<br />

with an up-close look at Native American artifacts at the<br />
Museum of Northern Arizona; then take a drive out to the<br />

Junior Ranger can imagine what it was like to live on<br />
the Colorado Plateau 900 years ago! When the sun goes<br />
down, Flagstaff is known for its nightlife; but don’t think<br />
adults have all the fun. For a kid-friendly evening, saddle<br />
up to the retro soda fountain at Galaxy Diner on Route 66<br />
for milkshakes and french fries then head up to Lowell<br />
Observatory for stargazing through a century old telescope.<br />
