AMAZING GRACE (FLAGSTAFF)

By Hunter Holcombe
Almost strategically located in the middle of Northern Arizona, just 30 minutes north of Sedona, the small city of Flagstaff presents a side of Arizona not nearly as well known as its southern desert counterpart.

At 7,000 feet in elevation, summers in Flagstaff are considerably milder than in Phoenix, just two hours to the south. And, in winter, skiers flock to the 770-acre Arizona Snowbowl, just outside of town. With outdoor recreation a primary draw in the area, the city is also the jumping-off point for visiting the Grand Canyon, only 80 miles to the north.

As for meetings, Flagstaff will get a major boost when the High Country Conference Center opens in April at Northern Arizona University, with space for up to 1,000 attendees in its grand ballroom. Smaller meetings can also be held at Little America Hotel, Flagstaff with 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and 247 guest rooms. Back to Top
