The view you are greeted with when you reach the summit is a vast panorama of beautiful landmarks; these include part of the grand canyon, all of Flagstaff, some of Sedona, Williams, and all of the other surrounding mountains in the San Francisco mountain range. If you\u2019re willing to experience a whole other personality to the mountain and see an even more incredible view, then I recommend starting the hike around 12 to 1 am. \u00a0If you decide to do this make sure to bring a headlamp and layer up, it\u2019s cold!! I know, I know, that\u2019s super early, but trust me, it\u2019ll all be worth it shortly! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you reach the summit just sit down, relax, and look towards the sky where you\u2019ll see just about every star, the milky way, and countless shooting stars. But don\u2019t head down just yet, the sun is about to rise! The best part of this early morning start is, by far, witnessing the red bliss that illuminates the Flagstaff sky at 12,000 ft around 6:30 am.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- shortcode-block-quote -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-block-quote shortcode-block-quote--right\">\n    <div class=\"shortcode-block-quote__inner-container\">\n        <span>Zach K. <\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flagstaff has an array of amazing hikes, from short and easy to steep and challenging.
