Wheeler Park is a beautiful park located next to Flagstaff City Hall near Downtown Flagstaff. It…read morehas picnic tables, sitting benches and lots of trees. Wheeler Park is named in honor of Rollin W. Wheeler who served as mayor in the 1960s and was also a councilman and a teacher. We were running errands in Flagstaff and wanted some downtime to relax and drink our coffee. I have been to Flagstaff many times in the past but have never visited this park. We decided to come here to Wheeler Park to lay down and chill in the grass. There were people with blankets taking naps and others having picnic lunches. I enjoyed the peacefulness and the shady trees while here at the park. Wheeler Park is also used for festivals, live music and other special events.

It is located just outside of town and has plenty room for the kiddos to get all that pent up energy out of their system. All of the classic park equipment including a full-sized basketball court, grassy areas and benches for sitting We had recently attended an event that was held at this park and if was super fun for all. There was enough room for lots of vendors and entertainment for hundreds of people. When it came time to eat some lunch we found some great spots under the huge ramadas and learned that with permission from the city you vcan rent the ramada for your own events. This might be a secret spot located just outside of town to have fun without al of the crowds.

I've been hiking quite a bit this summer and I saw this trail as an option. I have a pup and she…read moreisn't the most athletic so I needed to find something she could handle. I definitely would call this a beginners trail, it's not super challenging, mostly flat and easy to access. Because of these things, the trail does get crowded I've heard, but we were lucky when we went and it was pretty quiet, though we were there on a weekday morning. As you go along the trail, it is of course beautiful because we are in Northern Arizona, but the unexpected beauty of this giant red rock wall that appears almost out of nowhere is incredible. There are also caves that are super cool and fun to imagine how they came to be. I had a great time on this hike and would absolutely suggest it for the beginner hiker, considering it is only about 3 miles, or those that just want a great time outdoors soaking in the glory of Northern Arizona.

This was completely mind blowing We were a family of three…read moreand we completed it with no issues going to the island trail. To see the canyon on both sides, the sunny side and the shaded side was a big difference. I do recommend taking your time going up the stairs because you will be out of breath.

This is a cool place where you can see structures left by Native people (prehistoric culture…read moreSinagua) although there are also artifacts from the Archaic peoples before them who did not reside permanently in the canyon. There is a visitor center and two trails here. The Rim trail at a pretty even 0.75 miles is great for people who want a stroll that follows the canyon rim (out and back trail). You can see the structures from the rim, but it's even better with binoculars. The Island trail is slightly longer at 1 mi, but a steeper 185 vertical feet into the canyon with a whole bunch of stairs at the beginning, and returns the same way. I guess people get too tired to climb back up since there are numerous signs warning of the steep climb back. The trail begins at the back door exit of the visitor center, which they close at 4 pm (the entire monument closes at 5 pm, so they don't want anyone to start the trail and get locked in). Both trails were great and they had informational signs along the way. I really liked the Island trail since you get up close and personal with the structures. The visitor center was standard - offering a gift shop, bathrooms outside, and information about the history and significance of the area. The ranger staffing the information desk was pretty patient with the group of tourists and determining if they were fit to do the Island trail. It's a totally different vibe from the Grand Canyon, so don't expect huge views.

Pass Village Camp turnoff on your right. Keep going straight. Watch for sign. You'll turn left on a dirt road that takes you back toward the freeway but not on to it. The signs will get you there.

When I tried to explain how following their instructions got us lost and we had been circling for the last 20 min, they didn't care. I was spoken over. The coldness and the rudeness was the worst part. It made this mom, who was very excited to do this and took off work early and got her kids excited - to not want to ever come back. I wish they chose kindness, which would seem more on brand for a place focused on promoting mindfulness and being grounded. Lessons for others: - Do not use Google Maps: It will route you to an adjacent rest stop where you can see the entrance but cannot get there. It will cost you 20 minutes to fix this. - Study alternate directions before hand: Reading the wall of text of alternate directions and navigating unmarked forest roads isn't possible while driving. - Know they will deny you entry: The website says they stop taking reservations at 4, but they really mean we will deny you entry. And they will be very strict about it. - Reservations only: This place wasn't friendly to walk-ins. Not worth the stress to find, the $60 to touch nature with feet, and the attitude when literally surrounded by other woods for free. We went on another free hike instead and got the same benefit.
