We went to Flagstaff for a concert at the Pepsi Amphitheater.

We went to Flagstaff for a concert at the Pepsi Amphitheater. The weather started out being rainy, but thankfully dried out before the concert started. The people were extremely friendly, and we would definitely go back for another event.

We only stayed from check-in until about 3 AM, the next morning, at which time, we left to catch Amtrak. We live close to Flagstaff, and it is a great college town, with lots of hiking shopping and restaurants/bars!
Flagstaff is welcoming.

Flagstaff is welcoming. There are different types of people to meet. The history is unique and the roads are sometimes full. That just attests to how much people enjoy Flagstaff, the community, art, culture, food, and shops.
Mostly clean, friendly city.

Mostly clean, friendly city. Downtown area is a nice easy walking area. Lot's of good eateries, brew pubs, coffee shops and some tourist shopping. Great place to bike, on road or off! For me, it was perfect! Great place to relax and enjoy what surrounds you. Certain there is more to do if you have a vehicle as Sedona is within 45 minutes. Grand Canyon is within a day trip. Petrified Forest is a half day trip. I can think of others but up to you. Golf courses nearby. Great mountains and trails to hike or bike.

The traffic problem has always been bad but now it's worse than ever. This is caused by an exploding population and Rita Chang's constant student Highrise building program. The charm of the old Flagstaff is eroding. However I still love that town. I long for my student days when the City Council was strongly against urban sprawl. Sadly that is no longer the case.

With road construction going on, we found that we were routed onto a closed street, that was a little challenging to get around. Bearazonia was awesome and the grandsons really enjoyed it. The hike just outside of Flagstaff was a blast. The science place was very good and staff answered all the questions the boys posed to staff. That place could be hard on my wallet, but well worth the money spent.
