The “City of Seven Wonders,” Flagstaff puts our hotel’s guests within reach of Coconino National Forest, the Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Walnut Canyon, Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater National Monument and the San Francisco Peaks. At Sunset Crater, you can hike the lava path down this dormant volcano. Then visit Walnut Canyon to tour the 700-year-old cliff side homes of the Sinagua people.
With annual snowfall of more than 100 inches, Flagstaff means serious skiing and snowboarding at the nearby Arizona Snowbowl. Cross country skiers will also love the challenge of the Nordic Center. And if you’re visiting on 31 December, head to the city centre early to claim your spot in front of the Weatherford Hotel and watch the 70-pound (30kg) pine cone drop, once at 10 p.m. to celebrate the East Coast’s new year and again at midnight in Flagstaff.
Keep your energy up at Diablo Burger, where hamburgers served on English muffins is their speciality. On date night, set out to Cottage Place Restaurant, for a cosy dinner for two. Our accommodation is also ideally located for enjoying the sights of city centre Flagstaff. Hotel guests can tour the Museum of Northern Arizona, see a show at the Orpheum Theater and hear the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra at Northern Arizona University’s Ardrey Auditorium. Just one block from Historic Route 66, Heritage Square is always a happening place, home to the “Thursdays on the Square” music events.
