We’re heading into the Flagstaff area to experience the exciting new Snowbowl Scenic Gondola Ride to the top of Arizona—your opportunity to enjoy expansive views from the San Francisco Peaks at 11,500 feet! On a clear day, we’ll see the cinder cone volcanic field, the red rocks in Sedona, and as far as the Grand Canyon. The gondola ride offers wonderful opportunities for photography, wildlife observation, and a great escape from the heat of the Valley. We’ll also enjoy lunch on self at Snowbowl’s Agassiz Restaurant, offering a rustic atmosphere, additional outdoor seating, live music, a full bar, and a menu that runs from sandwiches and burgers to homemade soups and fresh salads. Reservations must be booked in advance. Don’t wait!
