Vacation Walks - Flagstaff and Phoenix
Walking on a regular basis just wasn’t part of my lifestyle growing up. (Maybe the extreme heat of the Mohave desert played a role in this.) But once I moved on to college in Flagstaff, living on a pedestrian campus for four years demanded it. Walking to most places instead of driving is something I truly miss about living in Flag.
Thankfully, I had the opportunity to visit Arizona and see some old friends and meander through the streets I used to know so well as a college student. The weather could not have been better.
Below are a couple of pictures and a snapshot of some of the walking I did in Flagstaff. In total, I probably walked a good 10 miles while on vacation. Not bad for what’s supposed to be a week and a half of pure relaxation!
Looking NE from Franklin Ave off of NAU’s north campus. I took the skies for granted while I lived here.
The most convincing sales pitch ever, seen in Phoenix along Indian School Rd.
A snippet of GPS data from walking in Flagstaff. The pace is wildly off since we stopped around campus to look at things (like the Southside Community Garden, which has actual plants growing in it!) and at the Mad I for cheap pizza and a pint. I know I said I’d never go there again, but it was cheap. Worth it.
