You are much higher and the surrounding area is very different. We really liked it. If you like sweets try the cookies at Jacob Lake.

I'm with you on the national site thinking...<br /><br />I like the Flagstaff area, I actually enjoyed walking around the downtown, watching the trains and the people gearing up for the Grand Canyon.<br />I really enjoy the Grand Canyon (south rim), walking the rim trail, enjoying the ever changing view and the variety of different languages overheard. I did spend a week or so camped in the NF (boondocking) going in to the park everyday.<br />The north rim was less crowded but the view was not the same as the one I got from the south rim.<br /><br />Safe travels whichever direction you head!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092960427378302566.post-7089205166638447912017-05-29T18:08:11.267-05:002017-05-29T18:08:11.267-05:00When I was at meteor crater years ago their story ...When I was at meteor crater years ago their story was that a federal agency tried to make it a federal site but refused to pay the owner anything for the land he had bought years before so he kept it and commercialized it.Barney, The Old Fat Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242837062100545160noreply@blogger.com
