Flagstaff’s slogan ‘They don’t make towns like this anymore’ is right on the money. This quaint town is filled with things for you to explore or it can provide you with the perfect opportunity to put up your feet and enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds you. The choice is yours.

This great hideaway is a welcome relief from the desert heat. It also provides a change from the typical desert scenery. Flagstaff is completely surrounded by the Coconino National Forest. The elevations range from 2,600 to 12,633 feet. You’ll see cacti and alpines along its many trails as well as a wide variety of wildlife. Explore the mountains and canyons, lakes and streams. There are four main areas, each with their own unique display of nature. Whether you love to hike, bike, walk or swim, the Coconino National Forest is a wealth of beauty worth exploring.

Any skiers or boarders out there? The Snowbowl has an average snowfall of 260 inches and offers 32 trails for you to explore. Considering its home is in Arizona, well known for its desert heat, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the fantastic ski trails this desert state has to offer. If you’re here during the off-season, grab a ride on the sky lift and enjoy a breathtaking view from the top. The Snowbowl also brags to have the best sunset views anytime of the year.

For the space lovers traveling with you, a visit to the Meteor Crater is a must. It’s the best-preserved meteorite impact site in the world. The crater is 550 feet deep and has a circumference of 2.4 miles. There are great interactive displays, an Astronaut Wall of Fame and an Apollo Space capsule. If the weather is nice, you can also get a guided trail tour of the rim. In town there’s the Lowell Observatory. It was made famous when the astronomers here first viewed Pluto. Telescope viewings and tours are available.

Downtown Flagstaff is known as the Historic Railroad District. The area is filled with reminders of the railroad and Route 66 days. Enjoy the architecture as you explore the boutiques, galleries and bookstores. For a unique shopping experience, head over to Black Bart's Antique Store. With the West as its theme you’ll find furniture, glassware and much more in the oldest and largest antique store in Flagstaff.
