For some, the idea of skiing in Arizona is surprising because of the state's hot and dry climate. However, Flagstaff is a great year-round travel destination for outdoor activities. Enjoy golf during any season and winter skiing on mountains in the Coconino National Forest, within a 30-minute drive of the city. With geologic and human history evident in neighborhoods across town, the city has many cultural attractions to explore as well. Accommodations here range from budget motels to high-end chains to a few historic hotels and inns. Decide where to stay to be in the best location to pursue your vacation interests.

Where to Stay for Outdoor Activities
Arizona's climate is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. For skiing, stay in Flagstaff and drive 30-minutes to Arizona Snowbowl or book accommodations right at the base of the mountain or a few miles away in Hart. The best hotels for enjoying public golf in the region are in East Flagstaff near Continental Country Club. Hiking is one of Flagstaff's most popular activities. Find accommodations in Winona to be close to the Walnut Canyon National Monument, which offers not only scenic vistas of fascinating rock formations, but also glimpses of cliff dwellings occupied by the Sinagua people centuries ago. Stay in Kachina Village to hike the Kachina Trail through pretty aspen forest.
Winona
Travelers enjoy Winona for its theaters and entertainment venues. Consider checking out Walnut Canyon National Monument while you're in the area.
Kachina Village
Visitors to Kachina Village enjoy its art galleries, and if you want to do some exploring, Kachina Trail is worth a stop.
Best Areas to Stay for History
The area around Flagstaff has been occupied for thousands of years, resulting in a broad range of historic attractions. Hotels in the northern part of the city provide opportunities to explore the relatively recent past along the Historic Route 66. Alternatively, drive into the mountains to see evidence of ancient geologic changes near Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. Just a bit farther north is the Wupatki National Monument, where the Wupatki people built pueblos in the red rocks around 900 years ago. Stay in Downtown Flagstaff to be near the Museum of Northern Arizona, which provides very interesting information about the natural and cultural history of this area known as the Colorado Plateau.
