Babbitt's Backcountry Outfitters

About

General • $$

A family-owned outdoor gear shop in historic downtown Flagstaff, right on Aspen Avenue. They carry hiking, camping, and skiing equipment, and their gear rentals start at just $1 a day — which is a lifesaver if you don't want to haul all your own stuff. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the kind of shop that can send you out the door with the right gear instead of the wrong one. Restrooms are on site, and the store is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. Hours run Monday through Saturday 8am to 8pm; Sunday is shorter, 9am to 6pm, so an early trailhead still works if you rent the night before. Downtown parking is the catch — you'll be hunting a spot on Aspen rather than pulling up to the door. A practical stop for families who need outdoor gear without packing the whole garage.
