Streetlamps lean over San Francisco Street as the group gathers around an antique baby buggy — a strange prop for a downtown walking tour, and exactly the cue this one needs. The air in Flagstaff at dusk is thin and cool; the courthouse clock watches like a patient witness as performers slip into character and the city’s old masonry takes on a sharper edge.

Dress in layers
Even summer evenings at Flagstaff’s ~7,000 ft elevation turn chilly—bring a warm jacket or fleece.
Wear sturdy shoes
Sidewalks and historic sidewalks can be uneven; closed-toe shoes make the mile-long loop more comfortable.
Arrive early to find the buggy
Meet at the southeast corner of San Francisco and Route 66; guides wait by the antique baby buggy to start on time.
Mind content for kids
The show is family friendly but includes spooky themes and theatrical effects—consider younger children's tolerance for ghost stories.
Warm jacket or fleece
High elevation evenings cool quickly; an insulating layer prevents discomfort during the performance.
