Things to Do in Flagstaff

A Natural Wonder

Tucked within the vast Ponderosa pine forests of Northern Arizona, you’ll find plenty of things to do in Flagstaff that capture its captivating blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and vibrant culture. Hotels in downtown Flagstaff are one way to do it. We prefer a little Route 66 with our stay. Americana puts you just minutes from the heart of town and within easy reach of Northern Arizona’s adventures.
