FLAGSTAFF is a mountain town at 7,000 ft elevation, where the four seasons shine—snowy winters, golden autumns, wildflower springs, and cool summer escapes. Surrounded by the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff was the first Dark Sky City in the United States, making stargazing here not just an activity, but a way of life. Home to Northern Arizona University and the Museum of Northern Arizona—once curated by actor Ted Danson’s father—Flagstaff blends higher learning, cultural depth, and breathtaking natural beauty.
