What To See And Do In Flagstaff, Arizona
A Small City At 7,000 Feet On Historic Route 66
I first visited Flagstaff in 1994, on my way to a river trip through the Grand Canyon. A year and a half later, in the middle of winter, I was back again, en route to the Canyon's north rim to work at a snowbound retreat called the Kaibab Lodge. There I met Steve, the man I eventually married, who was born and raised in Flagstaff. And that secured my permanent connection to northern Arizona. At the time, I felt like a tourist in "Flag," but, after a seven-year absence while Steve and I li...

Fun Winter Activities In Flagstaff, Arizona
Yes, It Does Snow In Arizona
When some folks hear "Arizona," they think sunshine, desert, and year-round heat. Well, yes on the first two points but a definite no on the third. Up here in Flagstaff at an elevation of 7,000 feet, with the San Francisco Peaks as high as 12,633 feet, we get a full-blown winter. In fact, Flagstaff receives an average yearly snowfall of 110 inches. And, in the winter of 2009/10, Flagstaff was the second snowiest town in the country behind someplace in Alaska! But that doesn't mean our sma...

A Tour Of Biosphere 2 In Oracle, Arizona
Biosphere 2: A Jungle, A Rainforest And An Ocean ... In The Desert?
Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons / CC A couple of years ago, on a road trip around southern Arizona without an itinerary, my husband and I made a spontaneous stop at a place called Biosphere 2 near a town called Oracle. I'd heard of Biosphere 2 many years earlier in college while studying Environmental Conservation, but I didn't recall the details. Just something about a group of people sealing themselves inside the place for two years. So as primary navigator on our adventure, when I saw "Bi...

Sedona Posters
Sedona AZ Posters, Pictures, Photographic Prints To Buy Online
I'm in love with the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona. I'm from BC Canada, where the geography is also very lovely, however, it is quite different than in Sedona. The BC landscape is very green and mountainous; in Sedona, the view is quite the opposite with red rock mesas against open blue sky. Sometimes it's cloudy in Sedona, but more often than not, the sun is shining. I've visited the city of Sedona four times, three times in September and once in January. Each time the weather was beautiful- ...

Heritage Square: Flagstaff's Outdoor Living Room
In The Heart Of Downtown Flagstaff, Arizona
Whenever I feel like going for a walk, I often find myself headed downtown, where I usually end up at Heritage Square.

Heritage Square is at the center of a revitalized downtown, once nothing much to write home about but now a destination and a fun place to spend some time, even sometimes a whole afternoon or evening.
