Spring comes to Flagstaff

Great time of year to be here

Spring comes to Flagstaff
Most of the snow that lay on the ground here has now melted. There's a feeling we have here and its called spring. Yes, for sure there will still be a few temperature ups & downs and precipitation events maybe even a bit more snow, but the trend is for warmer weather. Tonight we are expecting up half an inch of rain...

Heavy winds & Snow in Flagstaff

Winter weather is very much with us

Heavy winds & Snow in Flagstaff
What a wild ride we had yesterday with wind gusts well over 50mph. Lil' Mia and I were out in it and at time we had to sort of duck & cover when the heaviest gusts blew over us. If you look closely at the photo you can see snow billowing in the strong wind. At times like that its important to keep clear of big trees with...

Hiking Mt. Elden & Area

A great outing even though its Feburary

Hiking Mt. Elden & Area
Looking back at Mt. Elden from the west & north. The photo was taken at the top of the Heart Trail. We were on top of Elden then traversed across the ridge to the point the picture was taken. Then a fairly steep 2000 ft. descent to the forest below. Elden Trails B&B is situated directly below Mt. Elden on the other side....

Flagstaffs Balmy Weather Continues

What happened to winter?

Flagstaffs Balmy Weather Continues
Here is an excellent sunset image from Sedona. The red rocks of Sedona offer up some stunning sunsets. We are left to wonder whatever happened to to our winter. It has been unseasonably warm in northern Arizona for weeks despite a brief sojourn in winter about 3 weeks ago. I say brief because it only lasted a few...

Great Arizona Sunsets
Here's a Sedona sunset looking toward Cathedral Rock. Easy to see why this provided a backdrop for so many westerns. Sedona is an easy and beautiful drive of about one hour from Elden Trails B&B. The best and by far the most scenic way to get there is by driving down the highway 89 switchbacks. This drive offers up...

Snow Returns to Flagstaff

It feels more like winter now

Snow Returns to Flagstaff
We finally received a snowfall, to be sure not a big one but most welcome nevertheless. About three inches fell here at Elden Trails B&B but considerably more at the higher elevations and Arizona Snowbow where I understand the skiing is now excellent. If its winter weather you are looking for well, we have it now so...

Strange Skies

Look to the sky

Strange Skies
I caught this image yesterday returning from a hike in east Flagstaff. Think of all the possible interpretations of this beyond the apparent obvious. Things have become such that the obvious is no longer obvious.

Striking sunsets of late

Flagstaffs Mild Weather Carries On
This photo was taken directly behind Elden Trails B&B. We have observed some unusual colors lately, Frequently the most dramatic colors are seen in a more southerly direction as is the case with this one. No snow here but great hiking weather, not too warm and not too cold to enjoy a long hike without the need for...

High Above Flagstaff
From atop the Mt. Elden ridge looking west toward the San Francisco Peaks. Yes, it sure is unseasonably mild but the hiking conditions are excellent aside from the trails being rather dusty. The mild weather can be deceptive though because as soon as the sun sets the temperature begins a precipitous drop to finally...

Flagstaffs Dry Spell Continues
Well, it wasn't much but at least for a little while it felt and looked more like winter. The weather service said that unless at least a tenth of and inch collects on the ground it basically counts as nothing. So our dry spell continues with no respite in sight yet. At the time of this photo 5:00 PM it was about 20...

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • "This B&B is great! We loved the home like feel of the cottage. The attention to detail, the delightful patio, fabulous breakfast and the hospitality of our hosts make this Bed and Breakfast one we will return to each time we head West."

  • "A great experience in bed and breakfasting! The food is healthful and delicious. The ambiance reflects the good taste and congeniality of the innkeepers. Comfort and attention to detail are evident everywhere. Will we stay there again? Emphatically yes! We have already made reservations for our next stay in Flagstaff."

  • "Steve and Marnie are exceptional hosts in an industry (B&Bs) that has attracted too many people who are merely interested in revenues. It is obvious that they have captured the spirit of hospitality that guided B&B's previously. It shows in the lodgings, the food, and their level of helpfulness."

  • "I stayed here with my girlfriend and her sister last month. It couldn't have been better. Although its a few miles from town, it is right at the heart of great hiking trails. Its set back in a quiet neighborhood which was very nice. The room is very cute and clean. The food was the best part. Breakfast was hearty and healthy. The owners are very kind."

  • "Even though the weather was freezing and it was snowing the hospitality of Steve and Marnie made our stay warm and friendly. They went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable and easy. The convenience to hiking trails was a nice surprise and the breakfasts....well, that's a reason to return all on its own. A big thank you for making our time in Flagstaff wonderful."

  • "Great examples and advocates for sustainable living. This cute studio bed and breakfast provided the quiet night that we needed, unique touches everywhere. Would have enjoyed softer sheets but over all comfortable experience. Owners were great hosts as the left a key and warmed the studio since we were late arrivals. The property backs up to a national forest for our beloved four-legged friends to run free. The most mention-able part of our experience was the breakfast. It was healthy, wholesome and organic. We ate eggs laid that morning from the chickens right outside the studio."

  • "This is our first full summer in AZ and we wanted to get out of the heat of Phoenix. Flagstaff fit the bill and Elden Trails made us glad we came. The innkeepers are very interesting and friendly and the breakfast is delicious. Great hiking and fun historic downtown area."

  • "Steve and Marney were wonderful hosts and our room was cosy and comfortable. Breakfast was special with everything organic and home made. Walks and wildlife were just out the window and back gate. It was great talking with Steve and Marney over breakfast, they were genuine and engaging hosts. I would recommend this B&B."

  • "I stayed at Elden Trails in September 2013 for three nights before joining a Grand Canyon hiking tour. It was a beautiful spot, with great access to hiking trails and very close to downtown Flagstaff. The cabin is spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed the company & conversation each morning. Thanks Steve & Marnie for being great hosts!"

  • "Steve and Marnie are exceptional hosts; very solicitous and friendly. The breakfasts were amazing and healthy. The room is very comfortable and cozy with a separate bedroom, roomy living space and nice bathroom. There is a little frig, hot water pot and filtered water. A microwave would have made the room just perfect. Great place to stay!"

  • "We spent a quiet night in the private suite at Elden Trails. It is attractively decorated (not frou-frou) and comfortable. Our host delivered fresh coffee at our requested time first thing in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, all made from scratch. The fresh egg layers live on site. Out the back gate we had a snowy walk in the woods at the base of Mt. Elden."

  • "I stayed 4 nights when on a recent personal retreat. The food was awesome and Marnie packed a breakfast for me for the day I left at 6am. The location was exactly what I was looking for - quiet, access to gorgeous trails and hosts that were most helpful with information. Looking forward to returning there again."

  • "We had a splendid one night stay at Elden Trails B&B. The studio suite is comfy and quiet with forest trails directly behind the suite with a variety of hiking options. Marnie and Steve are gracious hosts and helped us with dinner and entertainment options in Flagstaff. We can't say enough about how wonderful the breakfast was. We requested a vegan breakfast and it far exceeded our expectations. Plenty of variety and it was very tasty."

  • "We stayed for 2 nights and the experience was memorable. Steve and Marnie were exemplary. The place was spacious, elegant and comfortable. Our breakfast was amazing and should be experienced by everyone. Healthiest breakfast ever. The garden was spectacular and optimized. The best was the bonding with the whole family. Truly beautiful and authentic."
