Flagstaff

Near Grand Canyon

Flagstaff is a city in northern Arizona, situated near the San Francisco Peaks at high elevation.

Known for its mountain climate, proximity to the Grand Canyon, and as home to Northern Arizona University, it serves as a gateway for outdoor recreation: We stopped in Flagstaff on our way to the canyon. (Lowercase flagstaff is a pole for flying flags.)
