Flagstaff is a city in northern Arizona. The city’s name derives from the Flagstaff Tea Party, a scouting party from Boston who camped near the location in 1855 and stripped a Poderosa Pine to make a flagpole to fly the United States flag. Due to its elevation, Flagstaff became home to the Lowell Observatory which first discovered Pluto and was later used to map the moon for lunar expeditions for the Apollo Program.

Recently the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a ruling by the Ninth Circuit which allowed Arizona Snowbowl to make snow on their ski mountain. A dispute arose when the company owning the ski area wanted to make artificial snow on a mountain that the local Native American tribes held as sacred. The Native Americans opposed the idea of using wastewater to create snow on their mountains. The Ninth Circuit court did, however, maintain that the Native American tribe does retain right of access for the purpose of conducting traditional ceremonies.
