Flagstaff - August 10-12, 2022

Decided to head up to Flagstaff to get away from the heat for a few days. While there I was able to visit The Museum of Northern Arizona that is a museum established as a repository for Indigenous material and natural history specimens from the Colorado Plateau. I had been wanting to visit for many years and finally was able to do so on this trip. It was a worthwhile visit.
