Flagstaff Arizona's location amongst the ponderosa pines near the Coconino National Forest, a mere 90 minutes from the Grand Canyon, makes it a perfect base for anyone who wants to explore Arizona's wild and wonderful outdoors. Opportunities for recreations like hiking, biking, camping & climbing are plentiful and the scenery is breathtaking. The Sunset Crater National Monument is a 1,000-foot tall volcano cone that isn't open to climbers, but makes for a stunning view. Another great attraction is the Museum of Northern Arizona that offers great exhibits & outdoor recreations like backpacking, kayaking, etc. Flagstaff is a haven for skiers with several nice slopes at the Arizona Snow Bowl & cross-country skiing at Flagstaff Nordic Center. The city is also a great place for camping & family outings.

The Arizona Historical Society has put together an interesting museum in the former Coconino County Hospital that remains a must see for visitors to Flagstaff. Exhibits reflect Flagstaff and northern Arizona history as well as ranching, logging and transportation. The three-acre property includes numerous territorial-era buildings and a steam locomotive. You can see exhibits on early medicine, Route 66, logging, flagstaff history and newly opened “Pioneer Kids” -- a fun family oriented interactive exhibit. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits over 10,000 artifacts, documents, and photographs of the history of Flagstaff and Northern Arizona and presents changing exhibits illustrating themes in Flagstaff’s history. The Pioneer Museum is also host to a number of annual events and festivals including the Wool Festival in June, Independence
Pioneer Museum
The observatory located one mile west of downtown historic Flagstaff was founded by Percival Lowell in 1894 and remains a fine landmark. The observatory has a rich history of observations, among those being the ones that led to the discovery of the planet PLuto in 1930. The observatory where astronomer Percival Lowell suggested that another planet lay beyond Uranus attracts visitors to Flagstaff to enjoy night time stargazing. Guided tours of the observatory take visitors on a journey through the universe and its wonders. This major Flagstaff tourist attraction is open at variable evening hours on a nominal admission charge.
