Many people believe Arizona experiences an endless summer, but that couldn't be further from the truth (for some regions of the state, at least). Flagstaff, one of the most historic Arizona mountain towns, is located about 7,000 feet above sea level, and it transforms into an autumn wonderland each year, with bright yellow aspen trees that draw tourists from all over the world to see fall in Arizona. There's so much to see and do in Arizona in the fall; in fact, we think it might just be the best time of year to visit! Let's take a closer look at one of the best mountain towns in Arizona.

There's just something about mountain towns in the fall, wouldn't you agree? Flagstaff is certainly one of the best fall getaways in Arizona.

Flagstaff is about as charming as it gets, surrounded by natural beauty and experiencing all four seasons in a way few other regions of Arizona do.

Pull a scarf around your neck, grab a pumpkin spice latte, and meander along the streets of downtown.

Just off historic Route 66, downtown Flagstaff is the heart of the city, brimming with quaint shops and restaurants. The roadways are flanked by aspen trees that erupt in a jaw-dropping display of color in the fall, their bright yellow hues paving the way for all sorts of seasonal activities.

If you're looking to hit the trail, the Inner Basin Loop is easily the most iconic hike in Flagstaff for leaf-peeping.

About 3.5 miles in length and moderately difficult, the trail leads into Lockett Meadow, where you'll find a sea of gilded aspens that draws photographers from all over the world.

You can also take a scenic drive around the San Francisco Peaks to view the fall foliage from the comfort of your vehicle.

There are several different routes in the area to choose from, but the closest is Hart Prairie Road, located about nine miles north of Flagstaff on Highway 180. The drive really showcases the aspens in all their autumn glory!

Other great destinations to spot the changing leaves include The Arboretum at Flagstaff and Oak Creek, located along Highway 89A between Flagstaff and Sedona.

No matter where you go to enjoy the views, rest assured you won't be disappointed.

We'd be remiss not to mention the Arizona Snowbowl, a world-class ski resort that sees over 250 inches of snow annually.

While most people visit the Snowbowl in the winter, we actually prefer it during fall. Why, you may ask? A ride on the chairlift takes you over 10,000 feet above sea level, showcasing the autumn hues from a whole new perspective.
