Perfect weather forecast will set the scene in and around Flagstaff

The <a href="http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/86001?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared">National Weather Service</a> 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 title="Bird Walks at The Arboretum at Flagstaff" href="http://www.thearb.org/birdwalks.htm" target="_blank">a bird walk at the Arboretum of Flagstaff</a>, 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. <a title="The Arboretum at Flagstaff - Bird Species list" href="http://www.thearb.org/ArbBirdList.pdf" target="_blank">Here’s a list of species you may see on your walk</a>. If bird-watching seems a bit sedate for you, try a three-hour <a title="Bike Road Trip in Flagstaff" href="http://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=YzBqODk4N3Aza2EyZnJocmduNWtzNzdjbDhfMjAwODA1MTdUMTYwMDAwWiBhc3RyYTQzYzQ1bnRlNXVxbXBubTFkOW50MEBn&ctz=America/Phoenix" target="_blank">Bicycle Road Ride around Morman Lake</a>, beginning in downtown Flagstaff at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning. Or, join the <a href="http://www.mountaincharterschool.com/">9th Annual Run for the Mountain</a> – 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 <a title="Northern Arizona Trail Runners" href="http://www.natra.org/" target="_blank">Flagstaff Trail Running Series</a>. Let’s back up to Friday night event options: <a title="Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff" href="http://www.heritagesquaretrust.org/history/history.html" target="_blank">Heritage Square</a> will be alive with African dances beginning at 6 p.m. Performers are from <a title="FALA website" href="http://www.fala.apscc.k12.az.us/default.htm" target="_blank">Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy</a>. At dusk, the movie <a title="Madagascar trailor" href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/03/13/madagascar-the-crate-escape-movie-trailer/" target="_blank">Madagascar</a> will show in the open air. (Bring jackets and blankets for our evening weather.)
