"We tried to go to Java Cafe on a previous visit to Flagstaff because they had vegan crepes. But every time we went they couldn't make the crepes. Now, Java Cafe is almost 100% vegan!"

"They serve Nathan’s hot dogs, breakfast and lunch sandwiches and the yogurt bar is amazing. Building your own dessert is fun for everyone, but especially the little ones. Choose your size, then select your flavor and dispense the amount of frozen yogurt yourself."

"Another reliable standby, this one serving authentic Italian dishes, most accompanied by your choice of soup or salad and soft, warm breadsticks. If you go around peak dinner time, be prepared to wait a bit, as this is a popular place, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. I've never had a wait at lunchtime, though."

"Flagstaff isn’t just a pit stop on the way to the Grand Canyon. Nor is it a tourist trap — the food scene and dedication to local ingredients has exploded over the past few years, making it worthy of a day trip, or better yet, a full-fledged food vacation. There’s plenty to check out."

"Around AD 1064 a volcano erupted on this spot, spewing ash across 800 sq miles, spawning the Kana-A lava flow and forcing farmers to vacate lands tilled for 400 years. Now the 8029ft Sunset Crater is quiet, and mile-long trails wind through the Bonito lava flow (formed c 1180), and up Lenox Crater (7024ft). More ambitious hikers and bikers can ascend O'Leary Peak (8965ft; 8 miles round-trip), or there's a gentle, 0.3-mile, wheelchair-accessible loop overlooking the petrified flow."

"A short walk from the visitors centre will bring you to Wheeler Park, an open green space with plenty of trees, right at the heart of the community. Not only a lovely place to come and relax with a book or enjoy a picnic, it regularly hosts events such as park runs or weekend arts festivals including Hullabaloo and Art in the Park. The park is an activity hub in the summer and a winter wonderland in the cold months."

"The pleasant Wheeler Park is the intercity green space – and is used as the site for many Flagstaff festivals. The summertime Sunday morning Flagstaff Farmers Market takes place just across the street, in the parking lot of Flagstaff City Hall. In the same parking lot on the second Saturday of each summer month, visitors can also peruse the wares for goods for sale at the funky Flagstaff Urban Flea Market."

Since 1894, the Lowell Observatory has been the location of many discoveries, including first detecting the universe’s expanding nature, moon mapping for the Apollo program, the rings of Uranus, and of course, the discovery of Pluto."

"We closed out our evening with a self-guided tour of Lowell Observatory. Here astronauts learned about the moon and detailed maps were created using the same Clarke Telescope that we looked into that night. We were able to see a star that was 134 light years away."
