Flagstaff – the Perfect Getaway From Phoenix
If you live in Phoenix Arizona, you probably love the desert climate. Year around sun and it never gets too cold. However, the 3 or 4 months of summer can be downright suffocating, with many days over 110 degrees. So, what can you possibly do to escape the heat?
Go North Young Man!
Or so the modified saying goes. Yes, in less than 2 hours you can drive up I-17 north to Flagstaff, and be in a totally different climate and lifestyle. The first thing you will notice is the temperature. It is usually about 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix. What a relief. You don’t even need air conditioning in Flagstaff. That should tell you something. The next thing you will notice is the clean air filled with the crisp clean smell of pine trees. Most people don’t really complain about the Phoenix air, but once you compare the difference it will be hard to go back.
Things to do in Flagstaff
Flagstaff is a charming little town with lots to do. The Historic Downtown area has many great shops and restaurants evening entertainment. There are some great coffee houses that you can kick back and read a book, or strike up a conversation with someone else passing through the town.
Hiking, Biking and Golf. Flagstaff is an outdoor enthusiasts dream. With trails for hiking and biking too numerous to list, and many great mountain golf courses cut out of the pine forests, there will never be a lack of things to keep you active. For the adventurous, there is always climbing the summit of Mt. Humphrey’s, which is Arizona’s highest peak, or even making the drive to the Grand Canyon, just a few hours away.
Northern Arizona University is right next to downtown, so there are always plenty of activities for visitors as well as the local student population. One of the major summer activities involves the Arizona Cardinals NFL team, as they hold their annual training camp on the campus of NAU during August.
Arizona Snow Bowl is the local Ski resort, and offers some of the best skiing in the state of Arizona. That is right, just 2 hours north of Phoenix and you can be on the slopes in the winter time.
Places to Stay
Yes, there are plenty of hotels in Flagstaff. If you are going to go that route, at least stay at one like the historic Monte Vista in downtown Flagstaff. However, if you want to take in the charm and lifestyle of Flagstaff, look into a Vacation Rental Cabin. These offer much more to your experience than a cookie cutter hotel room.
One last tip. When driving home, take the longer route through Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona. It is one of the most beautiful drives you will ever take.
