Camping at Flagstaff

When we left Vegas, our plan was to either go towards Utah or skip Utah and head straight to Phoenix (Arizona). Unfortunately, time didn’t allow for Utah, so we left Vegas and headed to Flagstaff, which is a midway point on the way to Phoenix.

The decision to stay in Flagstaff for the night was relatively spontaneous, so we didn’t know much about the place and didn’t have any campsites booked. Luckily for us, we were able to get a campsite last minute (our first choice was completely full), and enjoyed a quiet night alone, eating s’mores and sitting by the fire.

Much to our delight, Flagstaff actually has a lot of little nature things to offer! We decided on Wet Beaver Creek (A+ for the name) because it was on the way to Phoenix and people had recommended it for families.

Wet Beaver Creek was the best decision! We had no real expectations, but the little creek was the perfect stop for a quick swim before continuing our drive. We all really enjoyed it and it was such a petty spot to relax :)Read more
