| Looming
to a height of 12,670 feet, the San Francisco
Peaks are the highest point in the state.
In the winter, the towering summits are newly
white and glorious against an Arizona-blue
sky. In the summer, deep purple wild iris,
and later toward fall, bright yellow sunflowers
dress the foothills in magnificent colors.

In
autumn, the golden aspen leaves flurry in cool mountain
breezes that lift the eyes and the spirit to the
mountains. Situated
on the Colorado Plateau, shadowed by the Peaks,
Flagstaff is home to some 55,000 residents - a fascinating
city rooted in the region's history and culture,
and surrounded by some of nature's most spectacular
treasures. But it will always remain a mountain
town; its history, its culture and its spirit intertwined
with the mountains that Native Americans still hold
sacred, and that its people call home. Most
often seen at dawn or dusk, many species of wildlife
can be viewed from the highways leading out of Flagstaff.
Be sure to take your camera and several rolls of
film. For a sight of deer and antelope, drive Highway
180 between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon; to watch
elk, take Lake Mary Road. Drive slowly, and pull
off on the shoulder of the road if you decide to
stop. The Arboretum at Flagstaff offers extensive
gardens and public research facilities with information
about native plants and climate on the Colorado
Plateau. Public classes, bird walks, nature programs,
plant sales and other activities are scheduled at
the Arboretum. Highway I-40, exit 204 five miles
east of Flagstaff, leads to Walnut Canyon and the
ancient home of Sinagua Indians. Travel
into the past through a lovely canyon to the mesa
where these cliff dwellings were constructed. View
the ruins by taking a 240-step paved path with resting
places along the way, from the Visitor Center. To
visit the Navajo & Hopi Reservations, in Flagstaff,
head north on Hwy 89. A mile or so north of the
Flagstaff Mall, turn right on Townsend Winona Rd.,
and head east to Leupp Rd. (Navajo Route 15). Turn
left and head northeast 50 miles to the intersection
of State Highway 87. Six miles or so after turning
left onto Leupp Rd. you are on the Navajo Reservation.
Watch
for the small round buildings, called hogans - the
traditional Navajo home.
Take
Highway 89 through an astounding landscape to Sunset
Crater/Wupatki National Monuments.

Located 20 miles northeast
of Flagstaff, the 26 mile loop showcases lava
cone craters and the well-preserved ruins
of Indian pueblos. Regional traditions are
strong in Northern Arizona and skilled Native
American artists and artisans display their
creations throughout Flagstaff: in the downtown
shopping area, the Flagstaff Mall, along Milton
Road, on Fourth Street and in various plazas
scattered through town. Music lovers will
find numerous concerts and recitals on the
schedule. From the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra
to Flagstaff Master Chorale, Light Opera,
and numerous NAU musical organizations, there

year.
