Nestled into hundreds of acres of ponderosa pine forest, Little America Hotel has been a Flagstaff landmark since 1952. Mother’s Day Brunches at Little America are legendary! Bottomless mimosas, champagne and bloody marys. We’ll enjoy an incredible spread of made-to-order omelets, Belgian waffles, assorted crepes, fresh fruit and salads, savory carving stations, seafood selections and more. Later we’ll explore the charming streets of historic downtown Flagstaff before settling back into the Trans-its to travel south on Arizona 89A—a 14-mile stretch of high-country switchbacks, with stops along the way at dramatic over-looks. Rated a Top 5 Most Scenic Drive by Rand McNally, the Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Road is spectacular during the spring season! And if that’s not enough, Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Road turns onto the Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona’s first All-American Road. Often called “The Museum Without Walls,” the Red Rock Scenic Byway in Sedona, Arizona is visited by tourists from around the world. It cannot be overstated how fortunate we are that these two breathtaking scenic byways are just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from the Valley, and ours to enjoy with every changing season!
