Amtrak Thruway

Pros: I mean… the destination. Cons: It’s a bit hard to understand the policy about paying the driver extra, in cash (and cash ONLY), to enter Grand Canyon park. Luckily I had cash. I would prefer to have paid in advance for this. Tips: Study VERY carefully the policy about paying to enter Grand Canyon Park. I didn’t know (or remember) that I would be paying more to the driver, in cash, for this purpose. At the same time, I was convinced to buy a pass on line from the Park Service, for $20, that turned out not to be needed. So, a waste. Don’t do what I did! And bring that cash for your driver or you may be left behind (my driver said to me).

Blessed with plenty of pine forests and amazing sceneries, Flagstaff is more than just a pit stop for travelers who need respite from the scorching desert. We even named it one of the best places to visit in Arizona! The first place every traveler should visit is the Historic Downtown and Railroad District, which was built along the historic Route 66. As you stroll around the quarter, you will catch glimpses of quaint buildings constructed during the early 20th century, giving the area an authentically vintage vibe.

Stargazers should hightail it to the Lowell Observatory, whose telescope provides a breathtaking view of vast and unending space. If you are ready for some hiking, consider spending a day at the Wupatki National Monument. In this natural reserve, tourists can find ruins of indigenous villages and learn about the history of indigenous people in the area.

Budget pizzerias abound in Flagstaff to cater to a student crowd, and one of the best spots around is Oregano's Pizza Bistro. Cottage Place has some of the best offerings in town for a fancier meal and some delicious fillet mignon!

Amtrak's Southwest Chief stops at Flagstaff's train station at 1 East Rte 66. If you're traveling by bus, companies like Greyhound and Jefferson Lines operate out of the station on Butler Ave. Local air service goes through the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, located just 4.3 miles from the city center.
