Be sure to make time to shop in historic downtown, explore the starry skies at Lowell Observatory, take in the historic charm of the 19th Century Riordan Mansion or discover Native cultures at the Museum of Northern Arizona. As daytime temperatures start to cool, autumn is in the air and winter not far behind. Fall in the Coconino National Forest is a leaf-peepers paradise as Aspen trees turn from their summer green to vibrant gold. There is no better vantage point from which to observe this wondrous sight than from the Arizona Snowbowl’s Scenic Skyride. In 25 minutes, the Skyride transports guests to an elevation of 11,500 feet, through groves of beautiful Aspen trees. After a short stroll above the Agassiz Lift, the views from the Observation Point are spectacular as thousands of trees in the forest surround you. On the return trip down the Scenic Skyride, Hart Prairie and Kendrick Park are in full view, with their enormous Aspen groves. These groves have many different families of trees and each change at a different time, with colors ranging from green to gold. The Skyride is a must for any serious leaf peeper. The Scenic Skyride is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through mid-October from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Arizona Snowbowl is located minutes from downtown Flagstaff, at the intersection of Hwy 180 & Snowbowl Rd., then 7 miles up Snowbowl Rd. Scenic Skyride Rates: Adults $10.00 / Juniors (ages 8-12) $6.00 / Seniors (ages 65-69) $8.00 / 7 & Under/70 & Over FREE Fall into Flagstaff’s perfect season of crisp fresh mountain air as aspen leaves dust the forest floor in a blanket of color with shades of golden yellow, orange and auburn.
