Buffalo Park is an amazing local park. Great views of the mountains. There are multiple well cared for paths that take you around the good sized park. Lots of birds and various wildlife.

We were able to find a spot when we went around 11 on a Thursday in early October, but they could've laid out the parking lot better to fit more cars since some people are dumb and park like their cars take up that of 7 cars. We weren't able to do the entire trail as a couple people I'm our group were feeling leg pain and didn't want to overdo it, but we still saw so much of the trail and how gorgeous the trees are with their white trunks and pigmented leaves.

By the time we left at 10:00, the parking lot was packed and a car was waiting for us to leave to take our spot. There are several cool things about this trail: it's 5 minutes from downtown Flagstaff, it's also a campground (you have to walk through the campground to get to the trail), it offers rock climbing and it connects with the Arizona Trail. Sandys Canyon Trail is a beautiful hike that offers great views of the San Francisco Peaks as well as canyon walls. The trail itself is pretty short and it ends when it connects with the Arizona Trail. We continued on the AZT for a few more miles. Easy hike, suitable for anyone.

Make sure you arrive early. I don't remember an abundant amount of parking and it can fill up if the weather's nice and there's a school break going on. The steps are no joke lol.

This particular day there was still a ton of snow on the trail, which made following the trail pretty difficult. The views are well worth it and it is a beautiful hike, but anticipate on taking significantly longer than normal. Make sure to pack water and snacks! Best to hit the trail early to avoid afternoon showers at the summit. Also, don't be discouraged by the false summits, nice steady pace will get ya there! Trail is primarily covered/shaded with trees. There is exposure of the elements at the beginning and last mile in a half ish. Happy hiking!

Trail Series, Part 41 Is there a bad time to go hiking in…read moreFlagstaff? Not that I'm aware of, but Fall is certainly a GREAT time for this! Just as the days become shorter and the temperatures cool, the Aspen leaves adorn the forest with a glorious yellow hue that seems to first absorb, and then reflect, the sunshine. While not the only location for getting your Fall groove on, we found "Humphrey's Peak Trail" (and its surrounding environs) to be generous providers of the vibes we were seeking. None of the trails that we traveled were paved and their difficulty ranged from easy to moderate. However, as you travel up the mountain you'll find that the rocky outcroppings become more frequent and the hike becomes more strenuous. Before long you'll find yourself at 10,000 feet, so you'll be in much thinner air than you're likely used to and your water/rest breaks should increase accordingly. Each trail we explored was well traveled, but the buddy system is still recommended (if for no other reason than to have someone to marvel at the beauty with). Wildlife sightings are common, but it is the rare sightings of Big Foot that are the most cherished. Ample parking and portable restrooms can be found at the trailhead located at the end of Lot 1 of the Arizona Snowbowl Resort. For those interested in traditional restrooms and/or a restaurant, both are located at the resort and an easy walk from this parking lot. If you visit Flagstaff in the Fall, please don't find yourself "leaving" without experiencing the "leafing" all around you this time of year! And that's...Henry's Take.

I recently went on a tour with Walkabout Adventures to Havasupai Falls with 12 other people and I…read moremust say it was one of the best trips I have ever taken!!! I will admit I am not much of a hiker, and still a week later am not necessarily walking the same as I did before I went on this trip, but I will also say that it was worth EVERY second of it. Havasupai Falls alone is enough to make the trip worth it with it's beautiful water falls and pristine scenery, but going on the trip with Walkabout made it 100 times better. Included in the price of the trip is transportation, pack mules to carry your stuff in and out so you don't have a heavy pack on your back, all camping fees and equipment and gourmet meals for the 3 days you are there. Who would have thought we would be fed Salmon, Chicken Fajitas and Chocolate chip pancakes at the bottom of a canyon!! The two guides who took us on the trip were so patient and kind and pushed me limits I never thought I could go. It is nice to know that next time I go to Havasupai with Walkabout, they give you the option of taking a helicopter or horse ride in or out of the canyon!! I am glad I hiked it the first time, but in the future the horseback riding looks fun as well. Overall it was a fantastic trip and I would recommend it anyone and everyone looking for something different, exciting, SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Dave, the owner, is incredibly responsive to phone calls and emails and we appreciated that each time we called, we were speaking to the same person so not getting conflicting advice. The company is very well-organized and everything went smoothly. Jeremy, our guide, was incredible. He is kind and friendly, cheerful, and interesting. He's a great chef and we appreciated all the fresh ingredients he managed to bring along for lunches and dinners. Meals were great and the food was plentiful. He is knowledgeable about the canyon, its history and geology, and was able to explain things in a way we could easily understand. It was also impressive how much weight Jeremy carried so that we wouldn't have to. It was interesting to see how many people in the Canyon (Rangers, LE, other guides) knew and adored Jeremy. This loop had awesome views and is well worth the difficulty. Do it with a guide and do it with Four Seasons. We will be back for more!

Thanks again Jeremy and the Four Seasons team.

Think carefully before booking -- the customer service after a trip goes wrong matters…read more My experience with Wildland Trekking's Cascade Pass & Sahale Glacier trip was extremely disappointing. We paid $2,195 for a three-day, two-night guided experience. Instead, we hiked to camp on day one and hiked back out the next day. The advertised Sahale Glacier hike and final day of the itinerary were not delivered. We were left dealing with unexpected accommodations and meal expenses, as well as the logistical stress of having our belongings separated from us. I contacted the company seeking a reasonable refund for the portion of the trip that was not provided and reimbursement for the additional expenses. The company initially apologized and requested receipts, but meaningful resolution has not followed despite repeated attempts to communicate. I should not have to continually chase a company to address a significant disruption to a trip I paid thousands of dollars for. I understand that wilderness conditions can require itinerary changes, and safety must always come first. My concern is the lack of satisfactory communication and accountability afterward. The way a company handles problems says a lot about its service. Unfortunately, Wildland Trekking has not met my expectations. I would NOT recommend this company or book with them again.
