We LOVE spending time in Flagstaff. Its home to our ski resort - Snowbowl. Flagstaff is a great day trip or a fun overnight. Its also about halfway between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon. You can follow the brewery trail through town and visit several of the local breweries. Check the Snowbowl website for tickets to ride the scenic gondola up to the top of Agassiz Peak, 10,000 ft above sea level and above the tree line.
