Take in the Views from Arizona Snowbowl
Just 14 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona Snowbowl climbs high on the slopes of the San Francisco Peaks and delivers some of the best mountain views in the state. In winter, the resort becomes northern Arizona’s premier ski destination, with runs that drop through open forest and wide views stretching across the high desert.
During the warmer months, the Scenic Gondola carries visitors to more than 11,000 feet above sea level. From the top, you can see the volcanic landscape around Flagstaff, distant red rock country toward Sedona, and on especially clear days the rim of the Grand Canyon.
Whether you come for skiing, hiking, or simply the ride to the summit, Snowbowl offers one of the most dramatic viewpoints anywhere in northern Arizona.
