 Welcome to Flagstaff, Arizona! Today, this adventure is taking us to the Nordic village here in Flagstaff, Arizona. This place is just so wonderful to visit, especially during winter. If you are craving some winter activities like snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, or if you just want to play in snow. It seems like they have some yurts out here as well that I'm guessing you could rent and stay. And that's what we were told by some other people on the trail. There are definitely a lot of people who are staying here. This is a beautiful place to be. And for families and kids, it's definitely family friendly. And we are out here today snowshoeing. It's one of the things that we love doing during winter time. They do have rentals for snowshoes and cross-country skis together, right? Correct. So you can get to the visitor center. You can rent the gear from there. And you'll have to pay for your gear, but you also have to pay for a pass. Yeah, I think it came out to about 50 bucks for the two of us combined to both rent and get our pass. And there's a dog trail here as well where we see a lot of people taking their dogs out on jogs or walks. And they're just on their cross-country skis as well. So we'll take you around. We'll show you a little bit around here. There are a lot of trails. Some of them are multi-use. Some of them are just for cross-country skis. And I hope that you guys enjoyed this video today. They have a pretty good system of trails here. Some of them are easy, moderate. And I think we were told that the most elevation gain is 600 feet of climb, which is great if you never snowshoed or cross-country skied before. And you want to give it a try. This is a good trail system to try and see if it's something that you'd like. They are closing today around 3.30 p.m. And we will have to return the rentals by then. So if you plan on spending the day here, it's a good idea to get in early so that you have as much time as you possibly can here. And for us, we need to show up until noon. But still a few hours and we're having a blast right here. I'm going to try to get a little bit closer to the earth and cabins out here to show you guys. I think that will make for a great stay. These are some of the earths right behind me. I don't want to make a lot of noise in case people are sleeping or whatever. So there are a few of them right here. They have picnic tables. There's a bench right here, although it's pretty buried under snow. And they have a grill, which is pretty neat if you want to make your food out here. They look pretty small and compact, but if you're adventuring out here during the weekend or a long weekend, that's all you need. It's just a place to crash and spend the night. I think that's it for us for today. We did enough snowshoeing and I'm going to take off mine so that I can return them. And I will show you inside of the earth right here just to see what it looks like inside if you are renting equipment from here. But if you have your own snowshoes or cross country skis, you just bring yours. Double camera. Just returned the snowshoes over there. And as you can see, they've got a lot of equipment and rentals. Where do you want me to set the boots? You can just let them on the ground. There it is. They've got shoes for skiing. They've got cross country skis, poles. Everything that you need. So we just asked about the rentals for the yurts out here. And it seems like they do have two types of yurts. Right, so they have large eight person yurts. And then it seemed like the smaller ones were meant more for two to three people. You and maybe your kid or something like that. And then they also said cabins as well, which she didn't describe them very much. The yurts though, way in the back country, do have their own woodsheds and their own porta-potties. And yeah, so they said they're basically back country yurts. You have to drag your gear, whatever you need on a sled to get to the yurt. Or you can use some of their transportation vehicles, which... Snowmobiles, they call them shuttles for gear. Yeah, so the shuttle can take your gear up to the yurt. Or there are front yurts, like the one I showed you earlier. And this is the one that you can access directly from your car. And for the front ones, for the front country yurts, is that what she said? For the country yurts, you can use the restrooms at the lodge. And then for those in the back country, they have portable potties. If you are interested in making a reservation, you can do it in their websites. I'm going to walk you through it quickly right now. For all reservations at the village, you would want to go to Arizona Nordic Village.com. This is their official website. And here you can read about all of the events that they have going on. They have races, they have events, they have lessons. And this is where you can also rent a yurt or a cabin. They also rent their venue for large events, like weddings. And you can read about all of that in the website. Now, for yurts and cabin reservations, we're going to scroll down to where you see yurts and cabins. And I'm going to go ahead and click book now. And that is going to take me to this page. Let's pick back country yurts, if that's what we want. And then you can see right here that there are a few options to choose from. Like we mentioned earlier, there are some yurts that can accommodate up to eight guests and some of them up to four guests. So let's go for this one right here as an example. And they have some photos where you can see what this yurt looks like from the inside as well. Okay. And then right here you can specify when you want to rent this yurt. Let's pick April 8th to the 10th. You can see right here for one night, it's $40. Let's say we want this for two nights. And there are a few details that you can read through right here to understand where the things that you should be packing with you and some notes about amenities and good etiquette and things like that. So make sure to read through that. And then let's go ahead and hit book. That is going to ask us for our contact information. First name, last name, phone number, email. And from there you'll probably be asked about a payment method. So the booking process is pretty straightforward. And if you are facing any complications, you can call or reach out to the Nordic village to get some help. This is the office where you would register and pay for your rentals before you grab them from the yurt over there. And you pretty much just tell them what size of snowshoes you are and then enter your information, pay, get your pass if you're wondering that's the pass. You want to make sure that it's visible. Yeah, but they also have, you know, they're just telling a few things here like socks, gloves, some snacks, coffee. Yeah, very nice view from right here. There's a little seating area. Ooh, and I forgot, restrooms. That's very important. Look at that. They have a penini express. We're going to go grab some peninis. We were told that they are pretty good. I just ordered the turkey pesto and I'm very excited to try it. Getting a little hungry. We just got our peninis. And oh my God, they are so delicious. I got the turkey pesto and I got a vegetarian one with spinach and mushrooms and mozzarella. Oh my God, they're so great. These are delicious. I'm definitely getting one to go. This is the s'mores penini. I didn't even know that a s'mores penini is a thing. It is now. Oh yeah. Is it good? Oh yeah. Let me try it. It's got a little graham package in it. This is what a s'mores supposed to taste like, huh? Mmm, so good.
