Agree 100%. Flagstaff is very centrally located. It also has a lot of just regular shopping, which is kinda hard to find in N. AZ.The times I've gone to Grand Canyon & Sedona & Monument Valley, I usually head into Flagstaff overnight. It's in between Sedona & Monument Valley, and it is much cheaper to stay there than in a more touristy spot. Plus the scenic drive from Flagstaff to Sedona on Rt 89A, is NOT to be missed.
There is a LOT to see reasonably close to Flagstaff. Sedona and Montezuma Castle to the south, Grand Canyon to the west, all the stuff along the northern border of AZ to the north, as well as Wupatki, Sunset Crater, and the east entrance to Grand Canyon, and to the east there is Walnut Canyon NM, the Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest NP (with the Painted Desert to the north), and if you turn north on US 121, that takes you to the Hubbell Trading Post and Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "Shay") National Monument.
