If you're ever driving along I-40 in Arizona and suddenly the landscape changes from desert to a more mountainous, foresty look, then you know that you're almost in Flagstaff.

The county seat of Coconino County, Flagstaff is just 90 miles south of the Grand Canyon. With a population of just under 60,000 people (2005 Census), the city is small and scenic. Flagstaff's elevation is 6,910 feet, with the highest point in Arizona just to the north (Humphrey's Peak -- 12,633 feet). It's industry lies mainly in logging, railroad and ranching, with some coal mining to boot. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, Lowell Observatory, historic Route 66, and snow skiing at the Snowbowl.

With beautiful areas nearby to camp out and explore, Flagstaff is a hidden alpine gem in the mostly desert Arizona landscape.

Flagstaff is a college town a party town during the school year. It has some coporate business for jobs, some shopping getting better, the restaurants there are maybe half a dozen good ones, a lot of chain restaurants and no real spectacular restaurant where you leave saying that is the best food I ever had. What the town lacks in food in makes up for in outdoor activities, it is the Gateway to Northern Arizona and provides hiking, camping, boating, nature, historic, Grand Canyon and more. The weather is a little cooler than Phoenix in the summer and snow in the winter.

GRAND CANYON - Third tour of the Wonder of the World
posted by:
Feb 21, 2004 - Jul 26, 2008
This is my third trip to the Grand Canyon in two years: Can you tell that I love this place? My first trip was made during spring break in 2006 when my daughter and I took a break to visit family friends in Las Vegas. We took a bus tour from Las Vegas to the Canyon with a bunch of strangers - great bus tour that we had never before experienced. The second tour of the Grand Canyon was during the festive season of Christmas in 2006 when my family visited from London. 4th of July this year (200...

Semi-Apocalyptical Burnt Out Mountain Hike
posted by:
Oct 25, 2006 - Nov 27, 2007
The next day, I woke up at 6AM, after a surprisingly restful night of sleep by the traintrack-side hostel. I decided I had time to hike Mt. Elden, just north of Flagstaff. A unpaved road off Highway 89/Route 66 leads to the Little Elden Springs trailhead. The trail leads through a pretty golden meadow beneath the mountain, dotted with ponderosa pine, white bark birch and happy, Christmas-y douglas fir. The birds sang, and the soft morning light flitted through the trees ...

These are photos since August 2007, as I stated none of them have been edited or changed.  I just wanted these to be pure, untouched by the digital blackroom that is my life.

Arrive Flagstaff
posted by:
Apr 18, 2006 - May 19, 2006
Decided that I had better take a look at Historic Flagstaff, since I've been here 4 days and have not gone there yet. First stop this morning was to Flagstaff Mall to see if a camera store there might be able to fix my telephoto lens. Unfortunately, they do not have anybody on staff to handle this. They did give me information of a Nikon repair center in Phoenix, so I may have to head South if I want to be able to use it on the rest of my trip.While at the mall, I walked passed a Taiwanese co...
