Culture and heritage
Lowell Observatory
In Flagstaff, Lowell Observatory combines historical instruments, cupolas and night sky observation in a city renowned for the quality of its darkness. The place speaks as much of astronomical research as of simple wonder, with telescopes accessible to the public when conditions allow.
Nature and panorama
Walnut Canyon
Walnut Canyon cut the tray near Flagstaff The path descends as close as possible to these pieces of stone, while the juniper, pine and canyon shadows recall how carefully the site was chosen.
Nature and panorama
Sunset Crater
Sunset Crater shows a young volcanic landscape on a geological scale, made of dark cones, lava flows and lapilli where pines slowly resume their place. Short trails allow you to see this almost rough black land that divides with meadows and mountains around Flagstaff.
Place indismissible
Wupatki
Wupatki rises in an open plain north of Flagstaff, with its red sandstone walls facing volcanoes and painted desert. The pueblan remains, ceremonial playground and mysterious blowhole give a concrete idea of an ancient community settled in a harsh but intelligently inhabited environment.
