Explore Arizona’s Hidden Gems Beyond the Grand Canyon
From Phoenix, which is roughly in the center of the state, a two-hour drive north will find you in the world’s largest ponderosa pine forest. Coconino National Forest, one of six national forests in Arizona, is a far cry from sand dunes and prickly cacti.Flagstaff, nestled amongst the pines at 7000ft elevation, serves as the gateway town for snow sports. This funky town is home to one of the state’s four universities, but is the only one that requires snow boots in the winter.
