Downtown Flagstaff

Highlight • Settlement

Flagstaff was founded in 1876 and translates as much as flagpole. The exact origin is interpreted in different ways, but all stories revolve around a central element: a single spruce, freed from its branches, was used as a flagpole. Some say that a group of settlers raised the American flag here on the anniversary of independence, others speak of marking a trade route. In 1881 the railroad came through the small town and with it the upswing. The University of Northern Arizona opened in 1899, making Flagstaff the unofficial capital of northern Arizona. It wasn't just Route 66 that brought tourists to the city. Since the early 20th century, the Flagstaff surrounding 7 natural wonders Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater National Monument and the San Francisco Peaks were known across the country, giving the city the nickname "City of 7 Wonders." "brought in. Even after Route 66 was stopped, tourists continued to come to the city. In summer the Grand Canyon visitors, in winter numerous skiers who wagged the slopes down to San Francisco Peak, where you can also find Arizona's highest mountain: Humphreys Peak at 3851.

Lower Lake Mary

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Lower Lake Mary is sometimes there and sometimes not. During dry spells, the water level tends to be somewhat on the low side. Either way, it makes for a great bike section for its entire length. The views out over the lake are beautiful, and it's a great place for wildlife. You could see elk, deer, bald eagles, or blue herons. It is also a popular place for cyclists. The level road and the pretty much uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside might have something to do with it.

Upper Lake Mary Overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

Upper Lake Mary is the biggest of Flagstaff's two lakes. It is a long, narrow reservoir, and here in the day-use area, you just get great views of the reservoir. There are picnic tables, barbeque grills, and toilets here. It is a popular place, and in the springtime, and really for most of the summer, the views are super nice and awash with wild flowers.
