Gettin' your kicks on Route 66? Don't skip by Flagstaff.
If the time is right, you can't miss the annual, majestic aspens
show. Autumn is ablaze with the
cheerful yellow sequin-like leaves, flickering their final salutation to the
bluebird sky.

Forget kitschy native crafts, find your souvenirs at the Rainbow's End where truly unique clothes, kicks, jewelry, and accessories from around the world will really remind you of this fun and funky town.

Then take a break at Flagstaff Brew just next door or hop across the tracks (look out for the Sante Fe), and get your lunch at the Lumberyard Brewing Co. Their draught selection, made right there, will keep you busy for a few rounds, but their food is worth the visit too.

Flagstaff has an awesome music scene with venues like the Orpheum and The Green Room hosting talent both famous and infamous. There is always something good to see, great specials, and hey- Free Tacos on Tuesdays!

There's a enough to fill a few days in Flag, so why not get
a celebrity-inspired room at the historic Hotel Monte Vista. Celebrating pasts guests such as Humphrey Bogart,
John Wayne, and Clark Gable, among others, you might even land the bright pink
Debbie Reynolds room.

Looking for a more organic experience? The Abineau Lodge in the Mountainaire
neighborhood of south Flagstaff offers on-site wine tasting and access to
miles of casual trails. Stop at
"the tavy" (tavern) on your way back in for a refreshing PBR with a few
locals.
My favorite thing about Flag: The People! Genuine, conscious, and ever-ready for a good time, these folks make a stay in town something to remember (with parts I forget). Thanks, gang!
Congratulations Eric & Amanda!
