Perched above the metropolitan city of Phoenix and only a one
hour drive to the majestic Grand Canyon, Flagstaff is located in
the mountains of northern Arizona. Flagstaff is the destination
for all seasons and all types of adventurers. Depending on the
time of year and your calling for outdoor adventure, experience
world-class downhill skiing and snowboarding, Nordic skiing,
hundreds of miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking, horseback
riding and bird watching, or simply gaze at the color changes of
our magnificent aspens each fall.
Flagstaff is the best of both worlds; with its authentic, even
quirky Flagstaff culture, visitors experience local artists, farmto-table restaurants, local brew pubs and one-of-a-kind local
shops in a historic downtown setting. For the history buffs,
2016 is the 90th anniversary of the iconic Route 66 and Flagstaff
is the premier stop on the Mother Road. Furthermore, for our
visitors with a desire for arts and culture, Flagstaff has an active
and engaged arts council, museums, historic architecture, a
flourishing Native American culture and Old West legacy.
We invite you to turn the pages and start planning your
uniquely Flagstaff vacation now.

Tips for High Altitude
At high altitude the sun is more intense and it is possible to
experience fatigue and shortness of breath. Drink plenty of
water, rest often, apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses
and a hat, even on cool days. When packing, plan to wear
layered clothing, as the temperature and weather can change
quickly at 7,000 feet.

of the Navajo and Hopi
Traditional Foods of the Navajo
Located primarily in the Southwest states of Arizona,
Utah, and New Mexico, the Navajo people reside on
the Navajo Nation which covers 27,425 square miles
of Native American governed lands. The Dine’ as
they call themselves, continue to reflect a rich cultural
heritage of food and language beliefs that include the
meals that their ancestors enjoyed.
Fry Bread
Navajo Taco (fry bread topped with beef, beans, cheese, lettuce and chopped tomato)
Atoo' (mutton stew)
Traditional Foods of the Hopi
Descendants of the Anasazi, the Hopi people arrived
in the Southwest more than 5,000 years ago. Hopi food
centers mostly around crops that grow in the arid Arizona
climate, specifically corn. Some of these foods are still
prepared and used for tribal ceremonies and weddings.
Piki Bread (a paper thin bread made from blue corn)
Noqkwivi (a mixture of hominy, lamb and spices)
