Before leaving
Choose an open outdoor stop
Use current forest and road information. Leave early enough to enjoy the trip.
Late morning
Find your downtown base
Park once, get a coffee, and take a walk through central Flagstaff.
Afternoon
Make time for the outdoors
Choose a viewpoint or walk that fits the weather and everyone’s ability.
Before heading home
Sit down for a meal
Give yourself a real break before the drive back. Stay overnight if that makes the day more enjoyable.
