Flagstaff

Hello,

I will stay 3 nights in Flagstaff in November.
Is there anything to do?
One day i will go to the Grand Canyon. Is it possible to reach the
snowbowl by public transport?
Or should I stay only 2 nights and go (via Greyhound) to somewhere else?
(After Flagstaff, i will go to Las Vegas for 3 nights)

Thanks

Do a Google search for Flagstaff. Also check the Chamber of Commerce
website.
There may be regional activities taking place. There are museums, Indian
ruins,
Walnut Canyon, etc. you may wish to visit. Also, the downtown area has some
quaint
shops to visit.

One day i will go to the Grand Canyon. Is it possible to reach the
snowbowl by public transport?
If you mean by city bus, my guess is that no, there is no public
transportation.
Snowbowl is several miles from Flagstaff and outside city limits.

Or should I stay only 2 nights and go (via Greyhound) to somewhere else?
(After Flagstaff, i will go to Las Vegas for 3 nights)

Are you renting a car? There are tour buses that leave from Flagstaff to go
to Grand Canyon, but if you want to go anywhere else, I think you're on your
own. There is very little to do in Flagstaff. There is the Meteor Crater
that is located outside of Flagstaff which is a few hours drive. Also,
there is a petrified forest which is further than the Meteor Crater.

Flagstaff itself has Lowell Observatory, which is open to the public
frequently and is worth a few hours one evening.

There is a dinner theater there. I believe it is called "Black Barts" (but
I could be wrong), supposedly the food is good but the service is less than
stellar. The actors are college types. I'm sure that anyone in town will
know about it. Something fun to do.

There is little in the way of public transport to help you get
around Northern Arizona. There may be tours availabel, or you
could rent a car. The foloowing are very much worth visiting
within an hour or two drive from Flagstaff:

Oak Creek Canyon
Sedona
Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments
Walnut Canyon
Meteor Crater
Petrified Forest ntional Monument (a longer drive)
Cameron Indian trading post

Huh? Flagstaff is a great base of operations to see lots of fascinating
natural and manmade attractions, including Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater,
and Lowell Observatory (where Pluto was discovered), just to name a few.

There is the Meteor Crater
that is located outside of Flagstaff which is a few hours drive.

A few hours??? It's only 35 miles from Flagstaff. A fast, easy drive,
and well worth a visit in my opinion.

Flagstaff is a great base for visiting some wonderfully scenic parts of
Arizona, but a car would be very desirable. That said...

There is very little to do in Flagstaff.

It's not the hoppingest place, but it's a pleasant small town with a lot
of students, and it seems to have a busy bar and music scene for a town
its size. Great Mexican food too, of course. I could kill a day there no
problem, maybe even too. But I'd recommend getting a car if possible.
