What are the best things to do in Flagstaff?

I’ve lived in Phoenix for about a year and explored a ton of it. But all of my friends rave about how awesome Flagstaff is, so I’m going to take a week to check it out. What are some fun things to do while I’m in Flagstaff?

While
Phoenix
,
Tempe
, and
Tucson
are the most popular destinations in
Arizona
, Flagstaff is perhaps the hidden gem of the Grand Canyon State. Fortunately, a week is plenty of time to explore the city and surrounding area. Here are the best things to do in
Flagstaff
:
  • Go stargazing at the Lowell Observatory. Founded in 1894, this observatory is one of the oldest in the country. For $25, you can explore nebulas, distant stars, and planets through six state-of-the-art telescopes.
  • Hike Walnut Canyon National Monument. Located about 10 miles southeast of downtown Flagstaff, this canyon features a 350-foot canyon with majestic views and beautiful flora and fauna.
  • Explore the Museum of Northern Arizona. If you’re a history buff, this museum should satisfy your curiosity about the past of the area. Exhibitions include fossils, Native American jewelry, and archaeological findings. Admission is $15.
While the trip from Phoenix to Flagstaff is only about two hours, the roads between the two cities are remote. As such, you may want to consider adding
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy. To find the best rate, use the
