Flagstaff,AZ

[Freedom]

I visited Sedona - Red Rock Country - for a week's vacation a few years back. What I know is that the humidity is low to non-existent, the summer heat goes very high, the scenery is beautiful, and you could spend a lifetime making trips to all the areas around there! We did a day trip (with a tour) to the Grand Canyon.

So I think air conditioning is standard in all homes there. I'm not sure about heating and the winters; we had a snow flurry which had everyone in a dither, so I think it is VERY rare.

Flagstaff is a ski capital and hosts the Snowbowl,
all of north AZ has 4 seasons, and we get quite a bit of snow, my kids still have 4 ' on the ground in Prescott.

Sedona is a pricey tourist area and most ppl that work in Sedona live in Cottonwood.

Prescott is home to the oldest rodeo in the nation, and is a decent mix of economics
Drugs are rampant as there are a lot of border runners,work is low end pay even for high end jobs, One of the reasons we moved, Jasper is a Unix administrator, he made 52 k in Pheonix with a 2 hr commute each way every day.......soing the same job here in St Louis Telecommuting from home and working 5 office days a month he makes 80K.....no difference in job.


AC is common but swamp coolers are preffered as they are cheaper to run electricity is expensive out there.

Not all of AZ is hot, but all of it is desert, Flag is considered high desert, as is Prescott
