Northern Arizona Healthcare’s Flagstaff Medical Center is located just north of downtown. At nearly 7,000 feet in elevation, this charming mountain town boasts four seasons and lots of sunshine. The center of the world’s largest ponderosa pine forest, it’s a recreational hub with many areas for camping, hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, golfing, fishing and other outdoor adventures.
Flagstaff, the county seat of Coconino County, is about a 45-minute drive from the red rocks of Sedona; a one and a half-hour drive from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon; a two-hour drive from Phoenix and Lake Powell; and a four-hour drive from Las Vegas and Tucson. It’s also a short distance away from Native American ruins at Wupatki and Sunset Crater National Monuments.
