e love it here and wanted to share Flagstaff with those of you from outside the area who have not been lucky enough to visit. Following is a little information plus a few related links.

Flagstaff is located in beautiful Northern Arizona, nestled amid Ponderosa pine forests at 7,000 feet. Among the highest cities in the United States, Flagstaff sits at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, Arizona's highest point at just under 13,000 feet.

Once a resting place along the wagon route from the East to California, Flagstaff became a permanent settlement in 1881 when the railroad arrived. Historic Route 66 parallels the busy train tracks that still pass right through downtown Flagstaff. Interstate Highways 17 and 40 intersect nearby.

Flagstaff is the seat for Coconino County, which is the second largest county in the nation and whose boundaries contain the Hopi and much of the Navajo nation lands. The Grand Canyon and Sedona are both nearby.
