Welcome to Flagstaff
the destination for all seasons
The next 61 pages will tell you
almost everything you need to
know about Flagstaff, but you
won’t truly know this town until
you experience it firsthand.
You’ll see photos of the awe-inspiring San Francisco Peaks,
read about world-class attractions, learn about a storied
past full of pioneers and scientific discovery, and be inspired
to hike, bike, ski and play among our beautiful stand of
ponderosa pines. We invite you to turn this inspiration into
a reality and experience Arizona’s premier mountain town.
At an elevation of 7,000 feet (2,135 meters), Flagstaff is your
four-season hub of activity in northern Arizona. Visitors can
choose the season and the adventure that best fits their travel
style. History buffs will delight in the Route 66 nostalgia and
the museums and attractions dedicated to Flagstaff’s Native
American culture and Old West legacy. Those who like to
hit the town will have a hard time choosing between all of
the locally-owned shops, restaurants and galleries in historic
downtown. Depending on the time of year, outdoor enthusiasts have hundreds of miles of trails to explore on foot,
bike, ski and snowboard.
The adventure is yours to choose once you make Flagstaff
your destination for all seasons.

(lumber) and Babbitts (ranching) have descendants who
still live and work in Flagstaff today. In the ensuing century
since, the formation of the Normal School would become
NAU, Lowell Observatory was established, and the surrounding area became a vast National Forest.
Flagstaff at a Glance
rich with histor y and culture
Although Flagstaff became an
incorporated town in 1894, the
modern history really dates back to
1876 when settlers passing through
honored the nation’s centennial by
raising an American flag up a pine
tree. Their “flag staff” became a
landmark for those who followed,
and eventually became the town’s
namesake. The western expansion of the railroad in the 1880s
attracted merchants and saloonkeepers to set up shop for
the railroad workers and lumbermen. Within a couple of
years, Flagstaff was a thriving town of railroad, lumber and
ranching industries. Early families such as the Riordans
Riordan Mansion State Historic Park
Flagstaff ’s Early History
Flagstaff is in the heart of the
Colorado Plateau, a region
known for its rich Native
American history. Evidence of
the earliest native cultures in
the Flagstaff area can be found
in the cliff dwellings of Walnut
Canyon National Monument
and the rock-walled pueblos of
Wupatki National Monument
where the ancient Sinagua and Anasazi tribes inhabited
more than 800 years ago. This Native American heritage
still permeates the culture today, as tribal lands cover more
than 31,000 square miles in this region. Flagstaff’s Museum
of Northern Arizona is the perfect spot to learn about the
past, present and future of Native American culture on the
Colorado Plateau.
Route 66 Nostalgia
Route 66 is synonymous
with the classic American road trip, and that
carefree spirit is still
alive in Flagstaff today.
When Route 66 became a
highway in 1921, Flagstaff
was established as a popular stop on the iconic highway.
Famous musical acts making their way to Los Angeles
would stop at the Museum Club for a gig, and the Eagles’
classic “Take it Easy” was written by musician Jackson
Browne after he found himself “standing on the corner in
Flagstaff, Arizona” when traveling Route 66
to California. Winslow, Arizona was
easier to sing and made the final lyrics,
but Route 66 nostalgia is abundant
around Flagstaff. Construction of
the modern interstate may have
relegated it to “Historic Route 66,”
but modern travelers can still have
that iconic experience.

Visitor Center
Wildlife Watching
visito r ser vices & reso u rce s
Wild bull elk
Flagstaff is home to many wild
characters, but some of the most
interesting ones are out in the
mountains, forests and lakes
that surround this area. Northern
Arizona’s diverse terrain makes it
ideal for a wide variety of wildlife.
While you’re out on the hundreds
of trails in and around Flagstaff,
don’t be surprised if you encounter elk, mule deer or coyotes.
Those that prefer their wildlife sightings to be high in the
sky will delight in the birdwatching opportunities, with
bald eagles, Mexican spotted owls and several species of
neotropical migratory birds making their way through
Flagstaff. For optimal wildlife watching, remember to stick
to the sidelines and let the animals be themselves.
Ponderosa pines in Lockett Meadow
The Ponderosa Pine
Flagstaff boasts many superlatives,
but perhaps the most appropriate
one is the fact that the town is
located in the largest contiguous
ponderosa pine forest in the world.
The ecosystems that surround
Flagstaff span from piñon-juniper
woodland to alpine tundra, but it is
the ponderosa pine forest in-between
that dominates the area.
This towering tree
only grows at elevations between 6,000
and 8,000 feet, making Flagstaff’s
7,000-foot elevation the perfect home.
Explore the outdoors and admire this
beautiful conifer, with its characteristic
long needles and oversized seeded cones.
Not sure where to start upon arrival in Flagstaff? The Flagstaff
Visitor Center is your one-stop resource for insider travel tips,
itinerary ideas, culture and heritage site details, local history or
suggestions on finding a memorable meal. While there, be sure
to browse the gift shop for a wide selection of Flagstaff souvenirs, Route 66 memorabilia and more.
The Visitor Center is also the departure point for historic walking tours, led by guides in turn-of-the-century costumes. Prefer
to go at your own pace? Pick up brochures for self-guided tours
of Flagstaff ’s haunted places or the history of iconic Route 66.
Visitors continuing on to Grand Canyon National Park can purchase a park entrance pass from a National Park Service kiosk
before leaving Flagstaff. Valid for seven days, this pass allows
motorists entering the South Rim to use the pre-paid entrance
which may reduce wait times.

The following are tips to help you feel your best and experience
the high country in optimal comfort: 1.) At high altitude the
sun is more intense and it is possible to experience fatigue and
shortness of breath. Drink plenty of water, rest often and wear
sunglasses and a hat. 2.) Spending time outdoors at 7,000 feet
can lead to sunburn on cool and cloudy days as quickly as on
warm and sunny ones. Remember to apply sunscreen before you
venture out. 3.) Make layered clothing a key factor when packing. Be prepared for possible (and sudden) changing weather
including snowfall in the winter months.

Haunted Flagstaff
With more than a century of history, Flagstaff ’s paranormal past and well-known fiends have earned the city a
reputation as one of Arizona’s most haunted locations.
Ghostly legends of bank robbers who didn’t get away,
murdered ladies of the night, faithful workers still finishing
a job and eccentric hotel guests who never checked out
can be found throughout town. The Pioneer Museum
offers seasonal guided tours of Flagstaff ’s haunted history
and seven of Flagstaff ’s haunted hangouts are described
in a self-guided tour brochure available at the Visitor
Center or for download at flagstaffarizona.org.

Tips for Home Buyers
4 Ways to Avoid Surprises
at the Closing Table
A lot of work goes into getting to the closing table when you are purchasing a home. Here are tips you
should adhere to to help thwart any last minute glitches or hitches that could come between you and your
new home – or your cash.
1
Halt Major Money Moves
From pre-approval to closing, lenders are
watching your credit report. Avoid any
major changes to account balances,
credit limits, or other money-related activity that
could change your financial status in any way. This
includes large deposits (other than your normal
income) that come in before or during escrow. If
you have them, be prepared to explain them and
document their source or they could stand in the
way of your loan. Other common last-minute
money hang-ups include new credit accounts and
new collections or judgments.
2
Tell the Whole Truth
Be up front and honest with your agent and
loan officer from the beginning and you’ll be
much more likely to be successful when it’s
time to close the deal. Loan underwriters will verify
and re-verify the facts on your loan application
including credit, assets, marital status, employment,
and more until the last minute. New mortgage
guidelines have created a virtual gauntlet of multiple
application reviews by multiple underwriters before
you close the deal, so be sure you tell the truth.
3
Closing Documents: Read
Ahead
Get and review your closing documents in
advance so you can confirm important details like
the interest rate and monthly payment, ask
questions, and initiate any corrections in advance.
With more than 300 pages to review, chances you’ll
be scrutinizing every line at the closing table are slim
– and if you do catch an error, the time it can take
the lender to revise and reissue a set of papers can
throw your moving calendar entirely out of whack
and potentially cost you more money.
4
Watch the
Calendar
To avoid
additional fees at the
closing, stay on top of
important deadlines for
approvals, offers,
inspections, and others. Also, make sure your real
estate and mortgage brokers are in close
communication, and ask them to keep you apprised of
how any closing date changes affect your bottom line.
A change in closing date can affect interest rates,
closing costs, and other factors that adjust over time
and ultimately have an impact on the size of the check
you’ll have to write to close the deal.

Satisfied is putting it mildly, the service received from Melinda was above and beyond our expectations from a
Realtor. Intelligent, capable, thorough, attentive, professional, straight-talking, are a few of the words that can be
used to describe our relationship with Melinda. Always prepared for our viewings, really did her homework
providing us with much less stress than anticipated. The services that she provided did not end with us signing
the contract, she made sure that all of our issues, questions, were addressed as was every detail, with exceptional
follow up. In addition, during our outings with Melinda, we enjoyed the time spent and had many memorable
times of laughter! It is difficult to assess how one will be treated when dealing with a Realtor, our experience with
Melinda definitely over shot any of our expectations. We have and will continue to recommend her and her expert
services, she is a pleasure to work with and to know. Thank you again, Melinda! ~Robert & Marilyn
We were very impressed with her attention to detail and her integrity. She was knowledgeable and well-prepared
at every phase of the process. We have recommended Melinda to several friends and family members. They have
also benefitted from her services. Like us, they are impressed with her thoroughness and her ability to get the job

Trust, respect, knowledge and character are a few words that sum up the experience we had working with
Melinda Morfin as our real estate agent. Melinda is as professional and knowledgeable as they come. Her insight
to the market and her attention to detail led us to purchase a property that answered all of our criteria. We could
not have made a better choice. ~Joe
I have been fortunate to utilize Melinda’s expertise for 3 years now listing and selling our REO properties. She
has bee a true professional and has always looked out for the best interest of the bank. While we have a few agents
in her area she has always stood out with her professionalism. I would highly recommend using her as a buyer or
sellers agent, because you could always count on her to look out for your best interest! ~Thad , National Bank of
Arizona VP REO Department
We were extremely happy that we chose Melinda as our Realtor in Flagstaff! We live in the Phoenix area, so it
was important to us that we found someone who had excellent communication and follow-through skills so that
many of the details could be done online or over the phone. We believe that had it not been for Melinda's
detail-oriented approach and deep knowledge of real estate, we would not have closed on the sale. We couldn't be
happier with the outcome. We recommend her services without hesitation to anyone who asks! ~Bill & Andrea
Barb and I want to tell you how much we appreciated your assistance . Your professionalism and knowledge of
real estate were evident throughout the process. Your ability to negotiate and work the various steps of arriving at

and went out of your way to assist us. All of this would not have been possible without your superb support! Thx,
again, for everything. ~Fred & Barb
Dear Melinda, Right from the beginning you were very thorough and professional. You responded to our requests
very promptly and were always available to answer our questions and concerns. We are pleased with your services
and have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends.
