サンフランシスコのピークのおすすめツーリングルート

The area that Flagstaff sits on has been a crossroads and gathering point for centuries. Many Native people have, and continue, to call the area home. Evidence of their history and ties to the area can be found at the nearby Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monuments. Also, Flagstaff sits along the world-famous Route 66, giving it a rich roadside attraction element that only towns along Route 66 can have. Those biking along Route 66 or the Arizona Trail will cross paths here, and perhaps the road and dirt riders will share stories of their different journeys over a beer at one of the excellent breweries in town. Flagstaff is a full service town with everything and outdoor adventurer could need, including bike shops, cafes and restaurants, grocery stores, and many great lodging options. If your legs need a rest for a day or two make Flagstaff your home for a while, you won't regret it.
