Copper Star Books sits at the crossroads of Route 66 and Northern Arizona's high-country wilderness, making it a natural gathering place for hikers, stargazers, and road-trip adventurers. Founded in 2001 by two NAU geology graduates, the store occupies a historic sandstone building on Leroux Street that once served as a trading post. The astronomy section is one of the best in the region, reflecting Flagstaff's designation as the world's first International Dark Sky City. A wood-burning stove warms the reading nook during snowy winters, where customers curl up with trail guides and Colorado Plateau geology texts. The store partners with Lowell Observatory for monthly stargazing events and has become an indispensable resource for Grand Canyon hikers preparing for rim-to-rim treks.
