Snow for Flagstaff?

Rain or snow

Snow for Flagstaff?
The latest weather forecast indicates a fairly strong possibility of some snow in the Flagstaff area.  How much is the big question and although you never know for sure until it happens our chances for some measurable moisture look good.  It's very dry here so rain or snow its very welcome.  Perhaps the Arizona...

Unseasonably Warm in Flagstaff

What happened to winter

Unseasonably Warm in Flagstaff
I just spoke with a neighbor who has lived here for 40 years and he said this warm weather we've been experiencing is the warmest and driest he has seen in all of his time here.  I can certainly second that as I have resided here since 1995 and this is for sure the strangest winter I have experienced.  Recently we had...

No snow for Flagstaff

Unusual weather

No snow for Flagstaff
This is Wednesday, the 3rd day that some snowfall was expected here.  So far all we have received is a dusting of light snow. This is indeed unusual weather as right now its cold with a high today right about 32 degrees, however by the weekend the Flagstaff area will be looking at highs in the 60 and maybe even 65...

Where oh Where

Where is the Flagstaff snow?

Where oh Where
Here we are in day two of what was forecast to be a three day chance of snow.  We received a very small amount of snow yesterday, not even half an inch despite very light snow falling through much of the afternoon.  Today even less has happened.  Its 2:00 pm and skies are partly cloudy with zero snowfall.  Tomorrow...

At Last Flagstaff Snow

How much will it snow?

At Last Flagstaff Snow
After many weeks of very dry conditions here in Flagstaff there is a bit of change in the air.  Snow showers have been occurring today and are in the forecast through Wednesday.  Locals have been concerned about the lack of moisture leading to dangerous spring fire conditions.  So, for us here in the Flagstaff area...

Flagstaff Winter Weather
After a seemingly endless stretch of way above usual winter temperatures a change is upon us.  We have been experiencing a long period of unnatural weather which hopefully is over.  The warm conditions have been pleasant for outdoor activities (except skiing and snow play) but we desperately need some moisture.  That...

Flagstaff's first Real Snowstorm

Colder with some snow

Flagstaff's first Real Snowstorm
I can now report that we have received our first snowstorm of any size this season.  Here at Elden Trails Bed and Breakfast we recorded four inches of soft powdery snow.  Over night lows dipped into the teens for the first time this season as well.  Snowfall totals vary considerably depending in what area of town one...

Fall Weather Returns to Flagstaff

Cooler days ahead

Fall Weather Returns to Flagstaff
More seasonal temperatures are set to return to northern Arizona but that does not mean its time to hunker down.  Hunkering down with a nice beverage and a hot fire in the wood stove or fireplace can be a very enjoyable way to wind down the day.  But, daylight hours can be as filled with outdoor activities as you want...

Seasons first Snow

It's the middle of October

Heavy rains fell on the Flagstaff area yesterday driven at times by blustery winds.  Partial clearing later and a warmup to 40 or so degrees.  Last night snow fell late and depending on what part of town you were located in anywhere from a half inch to 2 inches accumulated.  However at The Arizona Snowbowl  and...

Flagstaff's First Taste of Winter

Much coolwer weather and a bit of snow

Flagstaff's First Taste of Winter
All of Arizona had been experiencing extraordinarily warm weather through all of September and well into October.  The southern areas of Arizona were until very recently still reaching temperatures into the 100's.  Here in Flagstaff we had many unseasonably warm days into the 80's.  The one big giveaway that the...

Fall comes to Flagstaff

The first cooler days

Fall comes to Flagstaff
Its been a very pleasant summer in Flagstaff and the entire northern region.  The first taste of cooler days to come has been with us the past several days with night temperatures falling into the 30's and daytime highs only reaching the 60's.  However its still very nice and despite a couple of windy days our Elden...

Hot August Nights

Monsoon slow this summer

Hot August Nights
Here we are in late August already.  It seems like the summer just blew right through.  Yes, its still pretty warm with highs in the 80's and lows in the high 50's but we could sure use some rain!  We had a few good storms that cooled things off and gave a big lift to our gardens.  But overall, its been a slow...

Summer comes to Flagstaff

A great time to be in northern Arizona

Summer comes to Flagstaff
Here it is June 20th already and summer weather has been with us for at least the past two weeks.  Temperatures here are much cooler than what people usually think of as Arizona weather.  While it frequently rises to well over 100 in the valley and sometimes well past 110 it never gets that hot in flagstaff.  So come...

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • "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."

  • "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!"

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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!"
