Best Easy Day Hikes: Flagstaff Guide Book

by Bruce Grubbs (Falcon Publishing)
Best Easy Day Hikes: Flagstaff

88pp/maps
ISBN: 1585921181

Flagstaff rises above the desert that dominates much of Arizona's landscape. The peaks that surround the city are often snow-covered, and lush green forests carpet the high plateau upon which the community sits. These peaks and forests also harbor many fine trails, the best of which are described in this book. From the colorful slopes of San Francisco Mountain to the scenic rim of Walnut Canyon, hiking around Flagstaff proves the desert is a kaleidoscope of beautiful terrain.
