My husband and I attended Pickin in the Pines for the first time in August 2024. We really like it…read more We arrived early so we got seats with backs under the shaded band shell. Other people sat on the lawn with blankets or short lawn chairs. The music festival was fun and offered lots of good music. I bought a CD called Greener Pastures-Never Come Down. I have played it many times and hope to buy another. I would love it if more bands brought CDs to sell. I am not a Spotify person, buying Internet music. I really liked the Mountain Time Ramblers (who are from Flagstaff and play first Friday at Mountain Top Brewing) and would have bought a CD but they didn't have any for sale. In summer 2025 we hope to attend more days than one. We will attend the daytime events. Camping is available for a limited lucky few. The event sells food and beverages. They have flush toilets

2024 Pickin in the Pines at Flagstaff, AZ : So disappointed…read morethis year. Turned into a military zone. Harassing, threatening "security" with no identification. Demanded that paid ticket holders avoid the area behind the fence for "200 yards". Police preyed on elderly ticket holders sitting & enjoying the music & threatened with a " citation for trespassing". Last 5 years sitting by the fence was no problem. Put up a tall black wood panel added to the existing fence. Added lots of extra fencing to inconvenience & confuse ticket holders. Many people will not be returning next year. Pepsi Amphitheatre " management" does not care about attendees. Only collecting their money & profits. The spirit of the festival has been ruined. And they disrespected the musicians...

We really enjoyed this festival. It's $12 for designated drivers with some non-alcoholic beer…read morebooths (e.g. Athletic Brewing). It's $65 for general admission, you get a ton of tickets for 3 ounce pours and they give you a beer glass that you drink from. The favorite beer was a Strawberry Lambic from Delirium. Local breweries, and international breweries. You buy your tickets online ahead of time. Parking on-site at a county park. Pretty, surrounded by forest. Very nice experience. We loved the games as well, there was darts, football, and skeeball. There was a live DJ too. Food options such as Mexican food, and barbecue.

When I think about heaven, I think about beer taps as far as the eye can see that pour deliciously…read morecrafted high gravity beer. Despite some minor details that I will point out here, this beer festival was basically like the heaven I always dreamed about. For $40 (in advance) you get a mini mug and 24 drink tickets that can be used to get any beer at any of the stands. The city of Flagstaff offered up its bus line to drive participants to and from the county fair grounds where the festival was being held, FOR FREE. The line to get into the fest was ridiculously long but it went by very quickly. The lines to get beer were long but they also went by very quickly. We created a system, we would stand in line and get a beer and then drink that beer while waiting in the next line. What ended up happening was that we would have to slam our mini mugs because the lines went so fast and we were getting faded too quickly. I'm not talking about some pansy ass 5.0% beers, nah, if these beers had nut sacks, they'd drag on the ground, 11% muthafuckas. I tried to get a list of all of the breweries that showed up but I got drunk and forgot. Now for the downers, the festival is held at a country fairground that hasn't been paved in 50 years, the ground was in bad shape. Huge potholes were making people drop like flies and this was 10 minutes into the festival - by the fourth hour after plenty of beers, we didn't have a fighting chance. Secondly, I saw several people throwing their beers into the trash. I feel like these people should be escorted off the premises immediately and banned from ever coming back to future festivals. I know these issues aren't the festivals fault and they have to give a ticket to any asshole with $40 but it still made me mad to see them wasting beer. TIPS: Buy your tickets in advance, they are $50 at the door and they sold out quckly. If you're coming from out of town, find a hotel within walking distance of the bus stop. Wear a pretzel necklace.

I visited Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff recently to check out some of the new additions and…read morerenovations that have been done over the past few years. The last time I was here was well over ten years ago. I have been a huge astronomy nerd since I was a kid. This place has changed so much since I last came here. They did an impressive job with the expansion and upgrades. We enjoyed exploring the Discovery Center and walking on the outdoor pathway to the telescopes. Lowell Observatory is one of the oldest observatories in the U.S. and was founded by astronomer Percival Lowell. It was at Lowell that American astronomer and telescope maker Clyde Tombaugh discovered the dwarf planet Pluto in 1930. The original telescope (called an astrograph) that he used is still here at Lowell Observatory and you can check it out while exploring this place. We came here in the evening and enjoyed walking around under the stars. There is a Mars Rover parked outside that greets you when you enter. The new Marley Foundation Astronomy Discovery Center is three levels and has a gift shop and a cafe. On the roof is the open-air Dark Sky Planetarium that offers a 360-degree view of the night sky. There are games, activities and science exhibits in the Discovery Center for both kids and adults. After spending some time here, we went outside to check out the telescopes. The walking path around Lowell Observatory is my favorite part. The outdoor pathway is illuminated by glow-in-the-dark art depicting the Pleiades, comets and the Milky Way. We walked over to the Giovale Open Deck Observatory first. It was too cloudy to see anything through the telescopes on the evening that we were here. So we headed over to the dome that houses the Pluto Discovery Telescope. They have renovated this telescope since I was last here. It got a paint job and looks nicer. It was really cool to be in the same spot where history was made a hundred years ago. I highly recommend checking Lowell Observatory. I am biased because I am a huge science nerd. But they really did do a nice job with the new upgrades. Come here at night when you can gaze at the stars.

Tonight, after dinner with my son and his fiancé, we decided to go to the observatory…read more When we walked up to purchase tickets, the lady looked at us smugly and said they stopped selling tickets at 9:00. I looked up at the clock which read 9:01. However and we walked away, my son's cell phone said 8:59 and then ticked over to 9:00 pm. I am from another place and leaving tomorrow. We don't have another opportunity to come back. Why are people not permitted into the facility to look around when it's open until 10:00 pm? I am also not sure how to correct what Google shows for the location, but it's incorrect as well. I was so looking forward to visiting this place after 12 years, but this totally ruined my appetite to come back to visit.
