NAU Campus Recreation and Student Life

Recreation opportunities abound at NAU

People ride bikes on the horizon as the sun rises.

On or off campus, you’ll find four seasons of adventure at NAU. Flagstaff is the nexus of an outdoor landscape that includes the majesty of the Grand Canyon, the stunning red rocks of Sedona, the waterscape of Lake Powell, the eye candy of the Painted Desert, and so much more.
