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.
