Located in the mountains of northern Arizona, Flagstaff is not the Arizona experience you may expect. Visitors can choose the season and the adven-ture that best fits their travel style. History buffs will delight in the Route

66 nostalgia and the museums and attractions dedicated to Flagstaff’s Native American culture and Old West legacy. Those who like to hit the town will have a hard time choosing between all of the locally-owned shops, restaurants and galleries in historic downtown. Depending on the time of year, outdoor enthusiasts have hundreds of miles of trails to explore on foot, bike, horse, skis and snowboard.

This guide will help jump start your introduction to Flagstaff, but you won’t truly know this town until you experience it firsthand. You’ll see photos of the awe-inspiring San Francisco Peaks, read about world-class attractions, learn about a storied past full of pioneers and scientific discovery, and be inspired to hike, bike, climb, ski and play among our beautiful stand of Ponderosa pines. We invite you to turn this inspiration into a reality and experience Arizona’s premier mountain town.

Flagstaff’s Early HistoryAlthough Flagstaff became an incorporated town in 1894, the modern history really dates back to 1876 when settlers passing through honored the nation’s centennial by raising an American

flag up a pine tree. Their “flag staff” became a landmark for those who followed, and eventually became the town’s namesake. The western expansion of the railroad in the 1880s attracted merchants and saloonkeepers to set up shop for the railroad workers and lumbermen. Within a couple of years, Flagstaff was a thriving town of railroad, lumber and ranching industries. Early families such as the Riordans (lumber) and Babbitts (ranching) have descendants who still live

and work in Flagstaff today. In the ensuing century since, the formation of the Normal School would become NAU, Lowell Observatory was estab-lished, and the surrounding area became a vast National Forest. Flagstaff’s early history is described in the brochure “The Early History of Flagstaff,” available at the Visitor Center or for download at flagstaffarizona.org.

Haunted FlagstaffWith more than a century of history, Flagstaff’s paranormal past and well-known spectors have earned the city a reputation as one of Arizona’s most haunted locations. Ghostly legends of bank robbers who didn’t get away, murdered ladies of the night, faithful workers still finishing a job and eccentric hotel guests who never

checked out can be found throughout town. Seasonal guided tours of the haunted buildings in historic downtown depart the Flagstaff Visitor Center throughout the month of October. Flagstaff’s haunted hangouts are described in the self-guided tour bro-chure “Flagstaff Haunted Places,” available at the Visitor Center or for download at flagstaffarizona.org.

Native PeoplesFlagstaff is in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, a region known for its rich Native American history. Evidence of the earliest native cultures in the Flagstaff area can be found in the cliff dwellings of Walnut Canyon National Monument and the rock-walled pueblos of Wupatki National Monument where the ancient Sinagua

and Anasazi tribes inhabited more than 800 years ago. This Native American heritage still permeates the culture today, as tribal lands cover more than 31,000 square miles (49,890 km2) in this region and are home to the Navajo, Hopi, Havasupai, Kaibab-Paiute and Hualapai peoples. To learn more about the uniquely diverse Native cultures of the Colorado Plateau, visit Flagstaff's world-renowned Museum of Northern Arizona.

Route 66 NostalgiaRoute 66 is synonymous with the classic American road trip, and that carefree spirit is still alive in Flagstaff today. When Route 66 became a highway in 1921, Flagstaff was established as a popular stop on the iconic

highway. Famous musical acts making their way to Los Angeles would stop at the Museum Club for a gig, and the Eagles’ classic “Take it Easy” was written by musician Jackson Browne after he found himself “standing on the corner in Flagstaff, Arizona” when traveling Route 66 to California. Winslow, Arizona was easier to sing and made the final lyrics, but Route 66 nostalgia is abundant around Flagstaff. Construction of the modern interstate may have relegated it to “Historic Route 66,” but modern travelers can still enjoy that iconic experience. Flagstaff’s nostalgic Route 66 buildings are described in the self-guided tour brochure “Flagstaff's Route 66,” available at the Visitor Center or for download at flagstaffarizona.org.

Historic BuildingsWhen exploring historic downtown Flagstaff, you'll walk through streets lined with sandstone brick buildings built in the 1890s, and through "newer" structures built during the roaring 1920s to early 1930s. Flagstaff cherishes its past through historic preservation efforts.

History of InnovationFlagstaff has been known as a town of discovery and innovation for more than 100 years. Here scientists have made discoveries in astronomy, medicine, biosciences and renewable energy. As early as 1894, Percival Lowell located his observatory in Flagstaff, and from the time he discovered Pluto in 1930, Lowell

Observatory continues to be an active research facility while also providing visitors the opportunity to view and learn about our expanding universe. In the early 1960s, Flagstaff played a large role in preparing the Apollo astronauts for their missions to the moon. The U.S. Geological Survey Branch of Astrogeology was established in Flagstaff due to the surrounding number of natural geological landmarks that resembled the surface of the moon. Field training for the astronauts took place at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon National Park and other areas in the region. The USGS Branch of Astrogeology continues to be a part of NASA's exploration of space. While Flagstaff’s past is rich with scientific discovery, emerging research and development companies call the city home, adding to its strong scientific community. Flagstaff’s role in the lunar mis-sions is described in the brochure “Flagstaff and the History of the Apollo Missions,” available at the Visitor Center or for download at flagstaffarizona.org.

Wildlife WatchingFlagstaff is home to many wild char-acters, but some of the most interesting ones are out in the mountains, forests and lakes that surround this area. Northern Arizona’s diverse terrain makes it ideal for a wide variety of wildlife. While you’re out on the hundreds of trails in and around Flagstaff, don’t be surprised if you

encounter elk, mule deer or coyotes. When hiking in the backcountry, you might be lucky enough to spot a porcupine, badger, pronghorn, black bear or mountain lion. Those that prefer their wildlife sightings in the trees will delight in the birdwatching opportunities, with bald eagles, north-ern goshawks, Mexican spotted owls, Peregrine falcons, wild turkeys and several species of neotropical migra-tory birds making their way through Flagstaff. For optimal wildlife watching, remember to stick to the sidelines and let the animals be themselves. For information on the watchable wildlife of northern Arizona, visit the Arizona Fish and Game Department at azgfd.gov.

Favorite HikesFlagstaff is a hiker’s paradise with trails available for all skill levels. When exploring the backcountry, remember to bring plenty of water, snacks, a trail map, sunscreen, wear layered clothing, a hat and comfortable shoes. It’s also a good idea to let someone know where you are going and plan to return. Be safe and have fun!

The Ponderosa PineFlagstaff boasts many superlatives, but perhaps the most appropriate one is the fact that the town is located in the largest contiguous Ponderosa pine forest in the world. The ecosystems that surround Flagstaff span from piñon-juniper woodland to alpine tundra, but it is the Ponderosa pine

forest in-between that dominates the area. This towering tree only grows at eleva-tions between 6,000 and 8,000 feet, making Flagstaff’s 7,000-foot elevation the perfect home. Explore the outdoors and admire this beautiful conifer, with its characteristic long needles and oversized seeded cones.

Fall ColorsLeaf peepers will rejoice in exploring the scenic drives in and around Flagstaff that highlight the golden aspens and red hues of oak trees. Take the most scenic route to the Grand Canyon and enjoy winding through old growth aspen stands, or head up the Snowbowl Road to enjoy not only a drive through the changing leaves, but amazing 360° views. Late in the season, take a trip south through scenic Oak Creek Canyon.

The following are tips to help you feel your best and experience the beautiful high country in optimal comfort: 1.) At high altitude the sun is more intense and it is possible to experience fatigue and shortness of breath. Drink plenty of water, rest often and wear sunglasses and a hat. 2.) Spending time outdoors at 7,000 feet can lead to sunburn on cool and cloudy days as quickly as on warm and sunny ones. Remember to apply sunscreen before you venture out. 3.) Make layered clothing a key factor when packing. Be prepared for possible (and sudden) changing weather including snowfall in the winter months. 4.) Now that you know, get out and enjoy the great outdoors.
