AZT thru-hikers: need a place to stay in Flagstaff?
Posted: Feb 29 2016 1:01 pm
Hey '16 AZT thru-hikers, my wife and I just moved to Flagstaff, and we are psyched to host thru-hikers when you are in Flagstaff. We've been the recipients of a lot of generosity on our thru hikes, and we want to give something back.
We're not a hostel or full-time trail angeling outfit like you might've run into on the PCT or AT, but we can give you a free place to stay, wifi, showers, laundry, kitchen access, maybe a meal or two depending on what we have around (basically if we have extra food, you're welcome to share; if not, you're welcome to use the kitchen--there are also lots of good restaurants in Flag). If we have time, we might be able to help with some short rides in town, but there's also good bus service in Flagstaff, and the bus stop is a block down the street.
Unfortunately, we're really busy--we both work full time and have a lot of stuff going on and we travel a good bit. So we may not be able to host hikers at some times. We're asking hikers to get in touch with us a week or so before you get to Flag (Pine is probably your best bet) and give us an ETA. We're not giving out or phone number or address (and we ask that anyone who stays here do the same). But you can either PM us or email at aztflag@gmail.com. Please don't just show up unannounced.
Also, we can't host dogs (allergies), and this is for hikers only (sorry, bikers, we're just not into you).
(I know there's a facebook group for the AZT. If someone wants to post a link to this there or share our email, feel free).
