Wellness Guide To Flagstaff, Arizona
Flagstaff is a hidden treasure. As soon as we arrived in Flagstaff, we fell in love with this small mountain town in northern Arizona in the world’s largest ponderosa pine forest. Flagstaff is an amazing outdoor adventure town in close proximity to many “bucket list” hiking destinations. I also tend to find that college towns always have a lot going on with great food, art, culture, + community… + Flagstaff was no exception! It just gave me a such good vibes — I would love to spend more time here!
