Follow the glow
From the entrance, through the fields and the maze, past the trees and the castle, and out by the snowflakes. Where you're headed. Not what's waiting.
The first field you walk.
A second field, just beside it.
Pick a path. Pick another.
A covered stretch of the walk.
Somewhere in the pines
Just south of town, a winding path through the ponderosas is about to glow. Bundle up, grab a hand, and follow the lights. We'll leave the rest for you to find.
A few glimpses
The full picture is only on the path.
Every light story needs a castle. Ours glows brighter the closer you get.
Pick a path. Pick another. Somebody in your group is getting lost, and it's half the fun.
Parked on the path, just past the castle. The night catches up to it.
Deer Field, polar bears, a globe, and snowflakes overhead. A few more stay on the walk.
Families on one side, a date on the other.

Mittens on, cocoa in hand, eyes wide. Made for little elves and the grown-ups chasing them.

Bring a date
A winter date night under the glow. Walk slow. Stay a while.

Meet the brothers
Birch, Brooks, and Kai grew up under these dark mountain skies, and now they're raising their kids here too. They always felt Flagstaff deserved a winter tradition as magical as the place itself. So they built one.
