Mount Elden at Sunset

Northern Arizona sunsets are legendary. You just need to find the best spots to see how magnificent they truly are.

San Francisco Peaks view from Mount Elden.

Atop Mount Elden you will love taking in our beautiful Northern Arizona/Flagstaff. You'll fall in love with the trees, the sounds of deer and birds and the view of our city.

Taking the pup to the top.

Once we reached the top the bull dogs were able to roam.

Safety Note:
This is animal country. Drive safe, be cautious and know you are the guest in nature's home. Especially when driving back after dark, take your time as deer are everywhere. Value their lives and make smart decisions in regards to your downhill speed.

Getting there:
Take Mount Elden Lookout Trail to the top! You'll access this by taking Highway 180 and turning right onto Schultz Pass. There's a sign that points straight to Mount Elden Lookout Road. Follow this and you're set.

You can hike this trail and/or drive it.

We arrived early enough to still be able to see town and the mountain for awhile before the sun fully set.
