Flagstaff is well-known to the outdoorsy types: Located at 7,000 feet of elevation, surrounded by desert, mountains, and a massive forest of ponderosa pines, it is a gateway to the San Francisco Peaks and Humphreys Peak as well as the famous Arizona ski resort Snowbowl. But there is more to Flagstaff than extreme sports and breathtakingly beautiful nature. It is also a place where about 100 members of the Anasazi and Sinagua tribes once lived at what is today Wupatki National Monument, in the fascinating cliff dwellings. In addition, a short drive from Flagstaff will take you to the crater of a volcano that last erupted 900 years ago. The Museum of Northern Arizona is a fascinating place to learn about landscapes, diverse cultures, ecology, tribal life, fine arts, and the natural sciences of the plateau. Riordan Mansion is another beautiful place to visit. Built in 1904 in the Arts and Crafts style for Riordan families, this mansion is a lovely reminder of the way of life of wealthy families in a small logging town.
