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.

Quite a bike friendly medium sized city. Flag Bike Rev is the shop you wanna head to if you need help with anything. Lots of good food and decent coffee. Markets for refuels before heading out into the woods.
