Escape the valley heat by heading north into the Ponderosa pines for a day in the high-altitude hub of Flagstaff. These trips trade the desert cactus for mountain air, usually centering on the historic downtown and the nearby Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. You might spend your morning exploring the lava flows or visiting the Lowell Observatory where Pluto was discovered, all while a professional handles the 2-hour climb up the Mogollon Rim. These travel experiences let you experience the cool side of Arizona without worrying about steep highway grades or mountain traffic, and get you back to the desert by sunset.
