Things To Do Around Flagstaff
Among things to do around Flagstaff are parades, rodeos, fairs, art shows, craft shows, car shows, horse shows, dog shows, gun shows, and chili cooking contests... and music - in the square, in the pines, and where you find it. My problem isn't doing things around Flagstaff... it's finding the time to write about what we're doing and seeing. Things to do around Flagstaff always include museums and such. Many are related to Flagstaff's history. There's the Pioneer Museum, Fort Tuthill Military Museum, the Riordan Mansion, Museum of Northern Arizona, and the Flagstaff Arboretum. Earlier I told you that I just don/t have time to write about all that we do and see around Flagstaff. We recently visited the Riordan Mansion. The Riordan family was, and is, important to the nurturing of Flagstaff and surrounding area.
We found the (twin) home and it's story very interesting and informative. The visit added to our understanding of Flagstaff history. And then, there's the Sedona Museum, Camp Verde Museum, Clemenceau Heritage Museum just a pleasant drive away. For live entertainment Flagstaff needs more venues. There's the famous Museum Club on Route 66, the Pine Mountain Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill County Park, and a few casinos down the highway.
Then there's the brewpubs... the Mogollon Brewing Company, the Beaver Street Brewery and Whistle Stop Cafe, and the Flagstaff Brewing Company. All of these are in downtown Flagstaff. There's also camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, rock climbing, rafting, and skiing. Downhill and cross country skiing in the winter, and trout and pike fishing when the lakes aren't frozen. And there's lots of other stuff to do and see. Don't forget the Snowbowl's scenic skyride! You can see far and wide from the elevation of 11,500 feet. Flagstaff, Williams, Grand Canyon, and all in between are at your feet. (Take a sweater or jacket.) There are also a few parks and such that must be experienced... The Red Rock, and Slide Rock State Parks near Sedona, Dead Horse Ranch State Park near Cottonwood are all great., The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest near Holbrook, and Sunset Crater, Wupatki, Walnut Canyon, and Meteor Crater are famous natural wonders to see as well.
There's the Grand Canyon Railroad at Williams and the Verde Canyon Railroad at Clarkdale. And of course there are tours. There's tours to and through the Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona and the surrounding Red Rock Country. You can tour by helicopter, hot air balloon, bus, jeep, horse or mule, by whitewater raft, and on foot. The events calendar page lists a number of things
