Buffalo Park
An open grassland park on the northern edge of the city. Its loop trail faces the San Francisco Peaks, and it is where locals go for morning runs with mountain views.
Buffalo Park sits on the McMillan Mesa in the northern part of the city. A gentle loop of about 3.2 km of gravel trail runs through the grassland, with a full view of the San Francisco Peaks in front of you. It is especially beautiful at sunset on clear days, and after snowfall in winter it is a great spot for photographing snowy mountains. The park has exercise equipment and connects to Flagstaff's urban trail system. Admission is free, and it is about 10 minutes' drive from downtown.
