Wonderful Skiing and Outdoor Fun
A Flagstaff timeshare is the perfect place for an alpine skiing vacation. The Arizona Snowbowl is one of the first 10 ski resorts in the U.S. It is high in the San Francisco Mountains and also a great starting point for hiking after the snow melts. If cross-country skiing is your passion, the Arizona Nordic Village has about 40 kilometers of backcountry trails that wind through a Ponderosa Pine forest that is the largest in the world.
The trekking opportunities are endless in and near Flagstaff. The Grand Canyon is just 80 miles north and you can trek it from rim to rim. The East may have its Appalachian Trail, but the West has the Arizona Trail, which is more than 800 miles long from Mexico to Utah. You can choose the sections you want to hike and see prehistoric and historic sites, charming western towns, amazing rock formations and miles of wilderness. The trail is suitable for day hikers, equestrians, backpackers, mountain bikers and nature enthusiasts. Flagstaff is also near some crystal clear lakes and streams that are great for kayaking, fishing and swimming. Don’t forget whitewater rafting on the Verde or Colorado Rivers.
Just a half an hour by car from Flagstaff is Sedona. It is a small town with a big profile. The giant red-rock formations are stunning, to say the least, but the town hosts some of the most interesting and exciting events throughout the year. If you own a Flagstaff timeshare, you can take advantage of all the fun on offer such as the International Film Festival, the Jazz Festival, and the Arts Festival.
World-Famous Lowell Observatory
Flagstaff is the home of the Lowell Observatory where men and women have been studying the sky for 125 years. Pluto was first discovered at the Lowell Observatory and you can visit the historical telescope that was used. Flagstaff was the first city in the world to be declared an International Dark Sky City with light pollution low enough for you to actually see the amazing night sky. The Barringer Meteor Crater, Hopi and Navajo reservations and several ancient sites such as Montezuma Castle National Monument and Natural Bridges National Monument are nearby.
Even if you visit Flagstaff for an annual vacation, it will be difficult to visit all of the fantastic restaurants in the city. With India, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, barbecue, one microbrewery and many more cuisines close by, you may not feel like using the amazing kitchen facilities you will have in your Flagstaff timeshare. There are several casinos in and near Flagstaff including the largest Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort. Owning a timeshare in Flagstaff opens a door of amazing vacations for you and your family.
