When living in Flagstaff in summer, I would often start hiking from the back gate of the RV park, which opened directly onto a maze of social trails. It was less than 1/4 mile to the AZT (east option) and not far from Flagstaff Loop Trail, Christmas Tree Trail and Sandy Seep. However, it was always fun to see where all the so-called "social" trails went. Maybe they should be called "anti-social" trails, because I always found them less crowded on a weekend.
It was always fun to go up to the water catchment pan. No one can see this thing without thinking it looks like a flying saucer has just landed, and soon will be spouting little green men.
The social trails will take you up the side of the mountain a little bit, and if you want a longer hike, one of them connects with the Heart Trail area, without having to go along the somewhat boring Sandy Seep Trail. Another will lead you to Christmas Tree Trail and eventually to Fat Man's and Elden.
At this point during river rafting season, I had started working, (I'm a bus driver, and occasional boatman's assistant, but am not going back in 2025), but the big family emergency had not yet occurred, so I was free to do whatever I wanted to on my days off, and didn't have to drive halfway across the state to assume caregiver role.)
Flagstaff is now in my past, I won't be moving back there in the spring. I'll only be a visitor. |
