The Open Grazing Concept

    Open Grazing In Arizona
    by VeronicaG
    As we drove through the countryside towards Meteor Crater, we noticed cattle grazing in pastures running alongside the highway. Well, that's not so strange you might think.

    However, there were no fences to be seen because Arizona has an open grazing policy.

    Signs cautioning drivers that calves may be wandering the roadways, seemed so odd to us Northeasterners. We put fences around everything!

    This was my story about my short detour over Route 66. I hoped you enjoyed reading it! This page is part of my roundtrip through the USA. I made an awesome trip through the Western part of the USA. Take a look at my USA page to read about the rest of this roundtrip.

    I devided this travelstory into several chapters. My previous and next chapter are :

    We just drove by and happened to see the sign! What a surprise it was discovering what we almost missed.

    Just discovering this place!

    I would take them to the caves around Flagstaff. There's plenty of GOOD caves up here and not a whole lot of people will tell you about them. I'd also have to take them to Snow Bowl. It's not the greatest place for snow sports, but it doesn't get as crowded as most other places.

    My fondest memory of Flagstaff was the first time it snowed. I've lived in Phoenix, and other warm places all my life, and I haven't really ever been able to experience falling snow.

    Experience the Natural Wonders of the area. San Fransisco Peaks, Wupatki National Monument, Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater, Ice Caves, Schultz Pass, and an area secret, Lockett Meadow.

    Clean air, clean water, clean living, low crime rate, small town.

    Find a dirt road! Especially if you have a truck, or 4x4 vehicle. Dirt roads are everywhere around Flagstaff, and they lead to some of the areas most valued treasures. So, I'm not going to tell you what, or where they are, finding them will be half the fun!
    I dont recommend this in the winter, as most primitive roads are impassable. Bring lots of water, food, a map, and a friend. Stay on main roads, tread lightly, and be aware of weather, and surroundings. Good luck!
    I will give one hint. 'Woody Mountain'

    The beautiful location, clean air, great locals, general vibe of my hometown. The wonderful scent of moist aspens changing colors in the Inner Basin of the San Fransisco Peaks.

    If I had to choose one thing to see near Flagstaff, it would have to be Walnut Canyon. Truly remarkable, this is a canyon on whose walls were built dwellings by ancient Native Americans (perhaps the Zuni??). At any rate, walk down a lot of stairs (couple hundred or so) and you can walk around the canyon and see the dwellings up close. Don't forget that you have to walk back up! It could be quite a bit of a climb if you're not used to that sort of exertion!

    Route 66.... the feeling of going back in time.... the feeling of the 50's, Rock and Roll, old cars... Did I say "Going back in time"???? Hahaha, yes I did! And we actually were back in time! All the time I was in Arizona, I thought it was one hour earlier, than it actually was. Hahaha, yes, I am sometimes a bit blonde!!!
    when you enter Arizona from California or Nevada you have to watch your time! As you can see on the picture, you enter an other time zone. In Arizona it is 1 hour later. I didn't realize this until I was halfway through Utah :-)

    HOLBROOK is an ideal home-base for your exploration of Northeastern Arizona. Whether your interest is the old west, Route 66, the Triassic period and the Petrified Forest National Park, or Indian Country, you will find that Holbrook will not only supply your needs but make you feel at home.
