Who: Our hosts are Fred aka Fast Fred and Dale Taunton
Where: Doney Park, 5420 Forest Drive
Where: Doney Park, 5420 Forest Drive
Description: On a vacant 2.25 acre field, beginning 15 years ago Fred and Dale have built a riverbed, three waterfalls and a large pond. Two underground cisterns catch rain and snow water from rain gutters to use for irrigation and filling the pond. The landscape includes native plants, large Moenkopi sandstone boulders, river rock and flagstone. A vegetable garden “is enjoyed by the squirrels and birds”
Directions: Hwy 89 North past the Flagstaff Mall, approx. 4 miles, go left on Sunset Dr. (across from Titan Propane), turn right onto Silver Saddle Dr., then left onto Forest Dr., almost to the end. Look for a raised sandstone boulder driveway on the left side of the road with a bridge over the wash in front. We’ll put some balloons on the mail box!
Phone: 928 606 9863
