Things to do in Flagstaff

Flagstaff sits at about 7,000 feet on the Colorado Plateau, surrounded by the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the world and crowned by the San Francisco Peaks, home to Humphreys Peak, Arizona’s highest point. Northern Arizona University gives the city a college-town energy, Flagstaff Medical Center serves as the region’s trauma center and W. L. Gore runs several medical products plants here. Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was discovered in 1930, helped make Flagstaff the world’s first International Dark Sky City, and Route 66 and the railroad still run through the historic downtown.

  1. 01

    Lowell Observatory

    On Mars Hill above downtown, the observatory where Pluto was discovered offers daytime tours, historic telescopes and evening viewing sessions under famously dark skies.

  2. 02

    Arizona Snowbowl

    On the slopes of the San Francisco Peaks north of town, Snowbowl offers some of the highest skiing in the Southwest in winter and scenic chairlift rides in summer and fall.

  3. 03

    Museum of Northern Arizona

    This museum covers the natural history, geology and Native cultures of the Colorado Plateau, with strong collections of Hopi, Navajo and Zuni art and a well-known summer heritage festival series.

  4. 04

    Walnut Canyon National Monument

    Southeast of town, a short but steep loop trail leads past cliff dwellings built by the Sinagua people into the limestone ledges of a forested canyon roughly 800 years ago.

  5. 05

    Sunset Crater and Wupatki

    A scenic loop north of Flagstaff links the cinder cone and lava flows of Sunset Crater Volcano with the red sandstone pueblos of Wupatki National Monument.

  6. 06

    Grand Canyon National Park

    The South Rim lies roughly 80 miles north, close enough for a full day of overlooks, rim walks and sunset at Hopi Point before returning to town.
