Highlight of the month

Northern Arizona
Come play in a winter wonderland. Enjoy the pristine beauty of Northern Arizona in winter. Now is the time to visit this playground when crowds are minimal, and enjoy the natural wonders, museums, and snow covered wilderness areas.

Take a scenic ride to the Grand Canyon on the Grand Canyon Railway. Relax in one of the five different coach cars as the train meanders across 65 miles of pine forests, high desert plains and small canyons. Strolling musicians and western characters recreate train travel as it was at the turn-of-the-century. Trains depart daily, and allow for a three and one-half hour visit at the Grand Canyon before returning to the depot in Williams. Spend the night at one of our warm and comfortable B&Bs in either Williams or Flagstaff.

For discriminating skiers, plan a day at Snowbowl and play on the slopes. Enjoy both Alpine and Nordic skiing. Then return to Flagstaff for dinner and a cozy Bed & Breakfast stay that will warm you through and through.

While in Flagstaff you could also plan to visit the Lowell Observatory, Riordan Mansion, or frequent any of the antique stores and fine merchants in the area. Take a sleighride through Coconino National Forest and visit the Museum of Northern Arizona.
