Like other southwestern cities, Flagstaff enjoys an abundance of sunshine, having on average 288 sunny days each year. However, because Flagstaff is one of the highest cities in the United States, it maintains a comfortable average daytime high temperature of 25.6\u00b0C (78\u00b0F) and evening low temperate of 10\u00b0C (50\u00b0 F) in August.<\/p>\n<div>There are a wide range of local and regional attractions in northern Arizona, including:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Grand Canyon National Park\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/grca\/index.htm\">Grand Canyon National Park<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Lowell Observatory\" href=\"https:\/\/lowell.edu\/\">Lowell Observatory<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Museum of Northern Arizona\" href=\"https:\/\/musnaz.org\/\">Museum of Northern Arizona<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Sedona, Arizona\" href=\"http:\/\/www.visitsedona.com\/\">Sedona, Arizona<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/sucr\/index.htm\">Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Walnut Canyon National Monument\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/waca\/index.htm\">Walnut Canyon National Monument<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Wupatki National Monument\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/wupa\/index.htm\">Wupatki National Monument<\/a><\/li>\n<li>and much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information about about Flagstaff and its near-by attractions, please visit the <a title=\"Flagstaff Conventions and Visitors Bureau website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flagstaffarizona.org\/\">Flagstaff Conventions and Visitors Bureau website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Travel and shuttle service<\/h2>\n<p>The conference and associated meetings will be held at the High Country Conference Center and surrounding buildings on the campus of Northern Arizona University, which is a 5-minute walk from the heart of downtown Flagstaff.
