Picture Canyon Tour
July 9, 2016 @ 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Join us for a guided tour of Picture Canyon! Tour lasts between 2-3 hours and covers some of the history, ecology, geology, and archaeology of Picture Canyon. The 3-mile loop will offer viewing, photography, and educational opportunities and will cover iconic sites along the way including Flagstaff’s only waterfall, Northern Sinagua petroglyphs and dwelling sites, and the Rio de Flag.
Tours will meet at the Picture Canyon Trailhead off of El Paso Flagstaff Road. From downtown Flagstaff, travel west on Route 66 toward the Flagstaff Mall. Turn right on Route 66 and left on El Paso Flagstaff Road. The trailhead is approximately ½ mile down the road on the right side.
Participants should expect to walk approximately 3 miles on uneven trails and are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Families are welcome, but please note the trail is not stroller suitable, and might be a little strenuous for young children.
The tour is offered through generous funding from the Open Space Program within the City of Flagstaff’s Sustainability Section. No registration necessary.
