Popular activities in Flagstaff include hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, camping, and river rafting. In winter, visitors come to ski or snowboard. Though it offers a vast number of recreational activities, there is more to Flagstaff. So come see all that Flagstaff has to offer.
EscapeWizard.com invites you to book your next vacation to Flagstaff. Visitors can fly into Flagstaff Pulliam Airport (FLG), a regional airport with direct connections to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).

EscapeWizard.com assures you that Flagstaff has a variety of must-see attractions that showcase the marvels and history of Northern Arizona. One such attraction is The Arboretum at Flagstaff, a 200-acre botanical garden and research station with 2500 species of plants. Visitors can take a free guided tour of the gardens, go on a bird walk with members of the Audubon Society (during certain months), or go on a wildflower walk and see one of the nation’s largest collections of high-country wildflowers. The Arboretum, open from April to October, also offers stunning views of the San Francisco Peaks and has a nature trail that goes through the Ponderosa Pine Forest.
We, at EscapeWizard.com, suggest that while you are seeing the sights, you visit Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and Walnut Canyon National Monument. Sunset Crater Volcano has been around since the late 11th century. The monument is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest, one of the most diverse National Forests in the country. Visitors should walk the Lava Flow Trail and explore the volcano landscape. At Walnut Canyon, you can walk the Island Trail where you will see 25 different cliff dwelling rooms that are remnants of a pueblo community.
Eighty miles northwest of Flagstaff is one of the nation’s first national parks: the Grand Canyon. Visitors can drive to the canyon from Flagstaff or take a shuttle from Pulliam Airport or the Flagstaff Amtrak Station. We, at EscapeWizard.com, believe this is a site that visitors will not want to miss. The Grand Canyon is divided into the North and South Rims. Most people visit the South Rim, which is open 24 hours a day and every day of the year. Also, camping, lodging, and restaurants are available year round in the South Rim. The North Rim also has lodging and camping available, but it is more secluded and is open from mid-May to mid-October.
There is so much to see in Flagstaff, but EscapeWizard.com suggests taking a break from sightseeing and going shopping instead. Flagstaff has a thriving arts scene and visitors can find clothing, jewelry, and arts with a distinctive flair. For example, in the Downtown Flagstaff Historic District, with its historic 1890s streets, you will find unique bookstores, art galleries, and clothing boutiques. The Historic Downtown/Railroad District is also the hub of Flagstaff’s nightlife and home to many of the city’s bars and lounges. In Downtown on Aspen Avenue is Heritage Square, a gathering spot where visitors can find free entertainment such as movies and live music. Also, be sure to visit the Historic Southside District, full of ethnically diverse shops, bars, and eateries.
If you are looking to enjoy the fresh mountain air, scenic Northern Arizona desert, and lush pine forests, then Flagstaff is the destination for you. We at EscapeWizard.com recommend taking advantage of all Flagstaff has to offer, from its recreational activities, archeological resources, and attractions to its shopping, art scene, and entertainment.
