I am looking at the Data Book and it shows 2 routes through Flagstaff. One is called Alt. Passage 33 access. Which trail do you recommend thru Flagstaff? The west trail or the east trail. What are the pros and cons?

The resupply route isn't part of the 800 mile total but it is an option to the San Francisco Peaks passage if you need to resupply or are looking for a zero day or 2. If you don't need town time, you can stick to Passage 34. If you just want to grab soda and snacks while near a town, as you cross Highway 89 on the Elden Mountain passage you are just down the road from a convenience store.

Thanks Sandy, but I am still a bit confused. He map shows a shorter west route and a possibly longer east route. Which route is the standard AZT trail. Which trail is the resupply route?

@LisaS
East one is the normal route. West is the resupply route.

Thanks, that makes sense.

. . .and the east route is gorgeous (mostly) and quite close to town if you need something.

That gives me an answer, too.

thanks for asking, and responding.

The west route through town, has it's high points.
