At one time I had Flagstaff on my wish list for my gummint job transfer preference, but due to marriage and life circumstances (stuff happens) ended up staying in NY. However, on a couple of occasions I worked in Phoenix for a few weeks and was able to take days off to drive up through Prescott and Sedona and visit Flagstaff, and even hiked up Humphreys Peak one time. In the late '90s I had done a 5-day hike with friends down into the Grand Canyon and got to visit Flagstaff then (it was November), which planted in my head the desire to live there.
As it turned out, however, NY is very good if you like outdoor activities, and I do love the change of seasons. For 2 years in the mid '80s I lived in Monterrey, CA, which is as close to Heaven on Earth as I've seen, but it was so damm nice all the time that I got sick of it.
