With the highest mountain in Arizona and Grand Canyon in its back yard, Flagstaff is an outdoor recreation paradise.

The entire region boasts amazing hiking, running, biking, and rock climbing. Flagstaff is a hiker’s paradise with trails available for all skill levels. When exploring the backcountry, remember to bring plenty of water, snacks, a trail map, sunscreen, wear layered clothing, a hat and comfortable shoes. It’s also a good idea to let someone know where you are going and plan to return. Be safe and have fun! All leashed dogs welcome!

If you think you've Peaked, we’ve got plenty more that are green and less unseen! Flagstaff offers an abundance of trails to choose from. Whether you’re just getting into hiking, taking your bike out for a spin or have a stroller tagging along, we’ve got a trail for you!
