When autumn rolls into Northern Arizona, Flagstaff transforms into a canvas of golden aspens and fiery maples. Guests of Americana Motor Hotel are perfectly situated to soak it all in.
Just minutes away, the Aspen Nature Loop Trail offers a gentle hike framed by shimmering aspens that seem to dance in the breeze. For a longer walk, the Kachina Trail winds through a mix of evergreens and autumn leaves, with sweeping views of the San Francisco Peaks.
If the open road calls, the Snowbowl Scenic Drive delivers glowing leaves around every curve. Or head south into Oak Creek Canyon, where cottonwoods light up along Oak Creek beneath towering red rock cliffs.
Want to take fall colors to new heights? Book Americana Motor Hotel’s Gondola Getaway package. It includes a one-night stay, two frosty cans of Mother Road’s Double 6 beers waiting in your room, and daytime passes to ride the gondola high above Snowbowl. Crisp air, big views, and local brews—it’s Arizona leaf peeping at its finest.
After a day of chasing color, head back to Americana Motor Hotel to kick back in comfort. With its central Flagstaff location, the hotel is an ideal Route 66 base for autumn adventures.
