There are great camping opportunities in Coconino National Forest. The forest covers a huge area, all the way down to Sedona. I camped just below Mount Humphry, the highest mountain in Arizona at 12,600 feet. I found this forest road off route 180. There are only about 5-6 campsites along this section of forest road and I was lucky to get one. The campsites are set among Ponderosa Pines. Very quiet and tranquil. Just what I was looking for. The area has all sorts of dirt roads accessible to cars that run through the national forest that you can camp along.  There are no services and the sites are suitable to fit a small RV.

Directions: Route 164B is on the right when leaving Flagstaff toward Arizona SnowBowl off Route 180 just before SnowBowl road.

Walnut Canyon is the location of some very interesting pueblos that were constructed into the side of the canyon cliffs. The unique formation of these cliffs allowed them to be used as the pueblo roofs so the inhabitants only had to construct a front wall. The views are very nice however, the Island Trail was closed when I visited.

Still this is a worthwhile visit from Flagstaff, especially since it is only about 15 minutes outside of town.
