Flagstaff can get downright cold during the winter, and already temperatures are dipping down into the 40s. Of course, while it is colder and the nights are longer, that doesn't mean you should stay inside all season long. Two amenities that residents of our Flagstaff apartments should really take advantage of during the winter are the outdoor fire pit and gas grill. How should they take advantage of them? By hosting a s'mores party, of course!
While entertaining friends as well as family members who come for a visit, you can make use of the cozy stone fire pit, which is the perfect place to relax, especially during those chilly afternoons. And having a bunch of tasty marshmallow and chocolate treats ready to enjoy makes this kind of gathering so much better. Take such a party to the next level with these ideas for hosting a s'mores party:
Tips for Hosting a Stellar S'mores Party
- Make sure to order the skewers. The biggest and yet easiest faux pas to make when planning and throwing a s'mores party is to forget the skewers. While last-minute searching for long twigs in the underbrush can lead to some decent alternatives, be a party pro and stock up on skewers beforehand. You can find the simple wooden ones at just about any grocery store, or you can get fancy and order these specialty telescoping marshmallow roasting sticks via Amazon.
- Consider raising the bar with these options. Graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey's chocolate bars are the obvious staples of s'more making. But why not consider taking it a step further and including a few extra component options like York peppermint patties, Reese's peanut butter cups, Butterfinger bars, and even Starburst candies.
- Napkins and drink dispensers. Make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand for your guests to wipe away any excess chocolate. And even if you go BYOB, consider grabbing a big water jug or something similar for those who forget or who otherwise need a fresh swing of water to wash down the s'mores.

One of the best parts about living anywhere is that you don't have to rush out and explore everything in just a few days. You're bound to find your own favorite secret spots out on your own, but sometimes it helps to have a head start. If you're looking for a good way to spend a day, try these lesser-known spots to make you fall in love with Flagstaff a bit more.
Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course
If you love a good obstacle course, then you should check out the ropes course at Flagstaff Extreme Adventure. This is a fun way to get outdoors and get your heart pumping as you swing, climb, and tunnel your way to the end.
B-24 Wreckage on Humphrey's Peak
Flagstaff has the tallest peak in the whole state, and it's definitely worth a visit just to see the snow atop the majestic mountain. However, if you're feeling adventurous, you may also be able to find the wreck of a military plane that crashed in the mountains in 1944. Because it crashed in such a remote area, the wreckage was never able to be cleared. Just be forewarned that it will definitely not be easy to find.
Walnut Canyon
Located about 7 miles from Flagstaff, you'll find Walnut Canyon which was once home to the Sinagua people about a thousand years ago. You'll find the ruins of their dwellings, which they built under a cliff. It is unclear why the Sinagua people left their homes around 1200 CE, but it's certainly a fun place to visit if you want to speculate.
Whether you have explored these places or not, they may give a better sense of what Flagstaff is all about. If you want to find out what Woodlands Village is all about, give us a call today. Our Flagstaff apartments were built with you in mind, so see how our amenities and floor plans stack up!
