Flagstaff calls itself a "destination for all seasons," and it's easy to see why: no matter the season or your inclination, on any given day this Northern Arizona city offers an incredible amount of things to do. Whether you're a history buff probing Flagstaff's Route 66 heritage, exploring the living cultures of the Colorado Plateau, or hitting the powder at Arizona Snowbowl, you'll have no problem filling up your itinerary.
Don't leave town without spending a few hours poking around historic downtown Flagstaff, where well-preserved turn-of-the-century buildings stand alongside modern structures. For nature-lovers, the Flagstaff Arboretum, our number three pick, showcases the rich biodiversity of the high desert in miles of scenic walking trails.
History buffs can take a tour of Riordan Mansion State Historic Park, a marvel of Arts & Crafts design, or explore the region's native cultures at the Museum of Northern Arizona. For an unforgettable and challenging hike, head to Walnut Canyon, where you can get a glimpse of the dwellings built by the Sinagua people over 700 years ago.
