In this video, I share what I feel like are the top 10 hikes in the Flagstaff, Arizona area. All these hikes are less than an hour drive from the city center of Flagstaff. I lived in Flagstaff for 2 years and had the privilege of hiking nearly all of these trails at least once. If you’re interested in seeing more from these places, I’ve created videos from most of these hikes which I’ve put in a playlist right here:
