Flagstaff

Flagstaff is dubbed the Gateway to the Grand Canyon, as you venture off interstates from different directions to head for the Grand Canyon. There is so much to see and do in Flagstaff! Visit iconic Route 66 landmarks and take a step back in time with vintage art and 50’s feel!

Add the Museum of Northern Arizona to your Flagstaff bucket list to see exhibits from the vibrant cultures of northern Arizona, from prehistoric Ancestral Puebloans to contemporary Hopi, Navajo, and Zuni peoples. Many different exhibits are at the forefront throughout the year, so make sure to check out their website to find what sparks adventure in you!

Did you know that Pluto was discovered right in Flagstaff? The Lowell Observatory is where Pluto was found and you can even see from the telescopes themselves! They offer a variety of packages, including stargazing, using historic and modern telescopes, and shops for souvenirs!
