Flagstaff is located 130 miles north of Phoenix and Scottsdale and is at 7,000 feet altitude. Flagstaff is filled with history – it was a stop for the railroad built to the West in the 1800’s, a lumber mill town, and is currently home to Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff sits at the base of Mt. Humphreys, the tallest peak in Arizona (12,633 feet). Flagstaff is better known as one of the major stops on the historic Route 66. The Flagstaff airport offers connecting flights to Phoenix –and from there, you can travel to any destination you choose.

The historic downtown area of Flagstaff has been well-maintained and the flavor from the 1800’s still exists. One can have lunch or dinner at the Weatherford Hotel and sit in the same rooms that Zane Grey sat as he penned one of his many Western novels.

Flagstaff is considered the gateway to the Grand Canyon, which is 90 minutes away by car. For the adventurous person, there are hiking trails throughout the area, and for the stouthearted there is a trail to the top of Mt. Humphreys. Flagstaff is surrounded by state and federal parks that provide and showcase the history and sites of early Indian civilization.

Flagstaff offers four beautiful seasons and can be considered a summer vacation locale or a place to live year-round. In the Fall, the aspen trees turn a beautiful golden color that can only be described as spectacular. In the winter months, the exciting SnowBowl opens up its many runs to the skier and snowboarder. In addition, cross country skiing is available in your own backyard!

Flagstaff is only 30 miles from Sedona when traveling via the picturesque Oak Creek Canyon. Since the temperature difference in the summer can be as much as 25 degrees, (with Flagstaff having the milder climate,) it’s a perfect location for that summer or year-round home. During the winter months when the snow closes the courses in Flagstaff, a short drive to Sedona offers multiple golf courses for play.
