Beat the Heat … Take the Family on the Scenic Skyride in Flagstaff

With temperatures 20 degrees cooler, Flagstaff is a welcome sight for us weary Phoenicians enduring our record-breaking heat wave.  To enjoy even cooler temps and great views, a trip to the top of Snowbowl will please everyone in your brood.

The Skyride is open daily from 10am – 4pm till Labor Day and then Fridays-Sundays, until mid-October.
