The city of Flagstaff — which you can find on the legendary Route 66 — is one of the most idyllic spots in Arizona, a location that brings together scenery to suit all tastes. Drive for a short while from here and you can witness austere desert, plush forest, and snowcapped mountains, Flagstaff itself is a true joy. Camping cabins in Flagstaff, Arizona, are aplenty so you can enjoy its natural beauty. Here you will find Arizona’s tallest mountain (Humphreys Peak) and excellent skiing at the Arizona Snowbowl. Nearby there are also excellent National Monuments, such as the delightful Native American pueblo sites at Wupatki.

Flagstaff city itself is well worth spending some time in — as a city with an overall population of approximately 135,000, there are plenty of attractions to see and participate in. The Lowell Observatory offers the chance to take in the beautiful nighttime clear skies. There are numerous museums, including the State Museum of Arizona and Riordan Mansion. Dining options are plentiful and include contemporary fine dining at Brix — a converted carriage house, and wonderful pastries and coffee at Macy’s. Accommodation options abound too - from camping spots in the Grand Canyon to Airbnb cabins in Flagstaff.

All in all, it’s a heavenly place to spend a holiday, and you can make it better when you book a yurt which will bring you even closer to nature. Continue reading to explore the top yurts in Flagstaff, Arizona.
