Friend Liz taught me to get close and smell the bark of the ponderosa pines. It smells like fruit and is worth leaning in for a deep breath.
Flagstaff is located in the largest contiguous stand of ponderosa pine trees in the world. The forest stretches from Flagstaff along the Mogollon Rim to the White Mountains.
This is the link to the 2018 festival in August: https://musnaz.org/heritage/navajo-festival/
The Museum has a large collection. This festival and others feature music and crafts. I came home with a beautiful wooden flute!
