The National Weather Service says Flagstaff will have highs of 74 on Saturday and 82 on Sunday – with perfectly sunny, blue skies on both days. Here are some fun ideas for things to do in this great Arizona mountain weather:
It’s a perfect weekend for a bird walk at the Arboretum of Flagstaff, or a hike, run, or bike trip anywhere else on our great trail system. The Arboretum-guided bird walks happen every Saturday morning from May through July, and again in September. Start at 7:30 a.m. Here’s a list of species you may see on your walk.
If bird-watching seems a bit sedate for you, try a three-hour Bicycle Road Ride around Morman Lake, beginning in downtown Flagstaff at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. Or, join the 9th Annual Run for the Mountain – a fund-raiser for Mountain Charter School. 2k, 5 k, and 10 k runs with other fun on the side. This is the first of the summer Flagstaff Trail Running Series.
Let’s back up to Friday night event options: Heritage Square will be alive with African dances beginning at 6 p.m. Performers are from Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy. At dusk, the movie Madagascar will show in the open air. (Bring jackets and blankets for our evening weather.)
Also Friday night (and Saturday and Sunday) the musical Barnum continues to play with performances by Flagstaff Youth Theater.
For ballet fans, on Friday and Saturday nights the NAU Community Music & Dance Academy presents the 3-act ballet Coppelia inspired by a story written by E. T. A. Hoffman. Tickets may be purchased at the NAU Central Ticket Office 523-5661, www.TicketMaster.com, or at the performances.
Sunday afternoon, Flagstaff youth have the opportunity to mountain bike in a safe, organized fashion, along the Schultz Creek and Fort Valley trails. Instructions for meeting up and preparation at the sponsor’s website: Flagstaff Biking Organization.
