Flagstaff Nearby Sights
Posted: Sun January 27, 2008 05:00 PM UTC
I'll probably be swinging by Flagstaff, stayed there before and took a tour to Grand Canyon and Monument Valley (loved both!) Was wondering if there are any other day tours worth the trip, mainly to Canyon de Chelly (too far?) or Petrified Forest? Also, is there any way to get to Walnut Canyon or Sunset Crater without renting a car (no licence)?

Canyon de Chelly is a little far from Flag, but you could certainly do it as a day trip. There's only one trail in that you can do without a Navajo guide. If you want the guide, there are a few different choices on how to do the tour through the canyon.
No way to get to Wupatki/Sunset Crater or Walnut Canyon without a car. The public transit in Flagstaff is limited and ends at the Flagstaff Mall. You may be able to find a tour, but they're not as popular spots as the Grand Canyon.

Looks like I'll be staying a bit in Flagstaff, taking a couple tours, but is there anything else in Flag that I can get to without a car? (Not that I'll need to, I can seriously stay a week in town, & just take tours!)

Oh, yeah!
The whole Downtown area is awesome, and the NAU campus is pretty nice. You've also got the Riordan Mansion, Museum of Northern Arizona and the Lowell Observatory. Most are walking distance from Downtown, but the Museum is accessible by bus.
