Welcome to Flagstaff, Arizona

Flagstaff's location convenient to adventures at Grand Canyon National Park have turned it into a popular town for tourists who seek the comforts of big town hotels and restaurants. While missing the chance to visit the breathtaking canyon would be a shame, there's plenty to see right in town as well. Native American societies that occupied the area long before the United States were formed left behind many traces of their ingenious ways of living in the often-harsh climate. The hills and mountains open up a whole world of recreational opportunity and stunning vistas even when far away from the famous canyon's walls.
