General Info: |
| |
| At an elevation of 7,000
feet nestled below the San Francisco Peaks sits Flagstaff, the third
largest urban area in Arizona. Flagstaff offers fun and recreation for all
four seasons. Summers attract visitors from hot desert climates,
while winters lure winter sports lovers. Fall is highlighted by
majestic golden colors of aspen leaves, while spring blooms
countless wildflowers along hiking trails. |
| |
|
Flagstaff has low humidity and an
average annual precipitation of almost 20 inches. On average,
summer temperatures climb to 90 degrees three times a year,
and summer nights give way to cool surroundings. Average snowfall
each year is over 95 inches, tantalizing downhill and cross country
skiers. From late summer to early fall, warm monsoon winds bring
rain to northern Arizona. |

| As a southwestern town
along old historic Route 66, Flagstaff has all the
unique shopping you'd expect. The downtown area
hosts lots of art galleries and a wide array of
restaurants. During the summer months numerous
events and activities can also be experienced at
Heritage Square in the middle of Downtown
Flagstaff. |
