Aspens Turning in Flagstaff AZ |
|
This could be the perfect Flagstaff weekend to hike in the San Francisco Peaks. The leaves are beginning to turn. Flagstaff temperature highs will be in the sixties (lower sixties Saturday, higher on Sunday) and the sun will be out fully on Sunday. I’m beginning to see the trees change toward the top of the Peaks where it’s cooler at night. One way to enjoy the fall colors in Flagstaff would be to join the Hart Prairie Guided Nature Walk on Saturday (details below).
One event that I plan to take in this weekend is the opening concert in the Northern Arizona University choral series:
"Voice, Strings, and Jazz"
featuring the Shrine of the Ages Choir, NAU Chamber Orchestra, and Jazz Band I
Conducted by Flagstaff’s gem, Edith Copley
Sunday, Sept.30 @ 3:00 pm in Ardrey Auditorium on the NAU Campus
Tickets available at the door or in advance by calling 523-5661
A special tour of interest to Flagstaff homeowners or future Flagstaff homeowners will be on Saturday:
