Fall ahead full

Summer winds down in Flagstaff
Summer in northern Arizona has had its last hurrah for the season with the County Fair now being history and somewhat cooler days and definitely cooler nights taking over.  The weather is still very nice and will likely continue to be so for a good while.  Daytime highs in the 70's feel very nice making for excellent...

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...

Where is the Flagstaff snow?

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...

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...

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...

Winter arrives in Flagstaff

Cool days, cold nights

Winter arrives in Flagstaff
A few days ago and just before Thanksgiving we experienced our first snow of the season.  It was light with very little accumulation and at times more like sleet but it was a storm nevertheless.  Since then it has been noticeably cooler here in fact downright cold at night.  Good news for skiers though as the Arizona...

Yes, winter is on its way to the Flagstaff area but so far no snow yet.  However Arizona Snowbowl is open with man made snow on several runs.  We have had some rain but conditions are still very good for those wishing to enjoy a good hike.  Right here at Elden Trails Bed & Breakfast and directly out our back gate...

Fall in Flagstaff
After our first cold snap with a few hard freezes we have been enjoying warm and mild temperatures the past few days.  Seems that is soon coming to an end though as more seasonal temps are just ahead.  The woods behind Elden Trails beckon as it a great time to step out for a walk or a longer hike.  The next major date...

Much needed rain

Monsoons arrive in Flagstaff
After a long dry spell during April and May we are excited to welcome the monsoons once again.  This summer it has even arrived earlier than in most past years.  That is a very fortuitous thing as it should put an end to the fire danger we have lived with recently and after the area experienced two major fires.  The...

Summer Heat
Yes, we are in the midst of another heat wave that extends through most of the southwest.  Temperature in the Phoenix valley area are into the teens 1111 to 117.  However here in Flagstaff at 7000 ft. our temperatures while very warm are not nearly as extreme.  We are seeing highs in the low 90's which historically...

Summer weather in Flagstaff
Yes, its not June 21st yet but for all intents summer has arrived in northern Arizona. Well for that matter the rest of Arizona too. Phoenix has been recording temperatures well into the triple digits but here in Flagstaff the weather is almost perfect. Highs in the 80's and low temperatures in the 50 degree range....

What Our Guests Are Saying

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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 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!"

  • "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 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."

  • "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 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."

  • "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 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."

  • "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 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."

  • "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 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."
