Adventure reigns during mild days and cool nights

SUMMER IN FLAGSTAFF

At 7,000 feet, summer means mild sunny days where the sweet scent of Ponderosa pine beckons and visitors find endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and countless special events and festivals.  Enviable by many, summer temps average 80 degrees as a high. The Travel Channel recognized the city as among the best for the 4th of July holiday, while other media have said Flagstaff is the best foodie town, the most bike-friendly, the best pet-friendly and there's plenty more.  

JUNE-AUGUST

Arboretum Opening

Walk through The Arboretum gardens, wetlands, meadow and forest and enjoy Flagstaff's natural and native beauty on self-guided tours, available through October. Yoga classes will also be available May-June bringing attendees peace and serenity, as well as painting classes available June-July to channel your inner-Bob Ross.

The Sky is the Limit

Flagstaff is the world’s first Dark Sky City and Lowell Observatory’s campus and telescopes serve as a perfect location to see millions and millions of stars as well as find your favorite constellation. After all, this is where Pluto was discovered, too.

Lowell Observatory Opening Date TBD

By day, a scenic sky ride at Arizona Snowbowl provides breath taking views from an elevation of 11,500’ and even offers a distant glimpse of the Grand Canyon.

This series has a laid back atmosphere intended for the family. There will be small prizes and give-aways to add to the fun! The cost of entry will remain relatively low because after all it’s just some friends out having fun together on bikes.
