Each season paints Kendrick Park in dramatically different hues. Summer brings blissfully cool mountain air—a welcome escape from desert heat below. As autumn arrives, crisp mornings give way to golden afternoons, though evenings demand warm layers as temperatures dip toward freezing. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-dusted wonderland, while spring's arrival melts away the white blanket to reveal wildflower-dotted meadows. At this elevation, weather can shift quickly, making every visit a unique adventure.

About Kendrick Cabin

Perched high in the pines 22 miles north of Flagstaff, Kendrick Cabin invites you to step back in time to a simpler era. This charming three-bedroom retreat, originally serving as a Forest Service fire guard station in the 1960s, now offers modern adventurers a gateway to the stunning Kendrick Park wilderness. Wake to panoramic mountain vistas, spot elk grazing in nearby meadows, and set off on countless trails that wind through this elevated paradise where history meets natural splendor.
