Flagstaff Travel Information
Flagstaff is an attractive and active city of 55,000 people that
serves as the geographical, cultural and recreational center of
Northern Arizona. It is surrounded by national forests and sits at the
foot of Arizona's highest mountain, 12,634-foot Humphrey's Peak, which
provides a wonderful backdrop. At 7,000 feet, Flagstaff offers
year-round activites. In summer there is hiking and mountain biking in
the cool air of the mountains. Winter brings plenty of snow with
cross-country and downhill skiing. Three national monuments are
nearby, and a little further away are the Grand Canyon and Petrified
Forest national parks. Flagstaff is conveniently located along I-40
and I-17 in the northern part of Arizona. It is 80 miles south of the
Grand Canyon and 150 miles north of Phoenix. View
