Fort Smith Park

A riverside park with an outdoor amphitheater, picnic tables, hiking trails, and fishing.

This tough four-mile hike in Coronado National Memorial is the only one in the park that admits dogs. It starts at Montezuma Pass's northeastern part and ends at Miller Peak. At all times, pets must be kept on a six-foot leash or shorter.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a countrywide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Sinclair Wash Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an underused railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Fido in Flagstaff!

Golf courses, a bathing beach, cross-country skiing, and other activities abound in this sprawling leisure park.

The Brass Armadillo is a great place for antique collectors to get lost in the aisles for hours. This is the biggest number of antique dealers in the desert valley, with approximately 600. Bring your walking shoes with you. Dogs of any size are welcome as long as they are well behaved and on a leash.
