One Last Time Down Snow Bowl
Any Arizona native will know that Flagstaff is home to Snow Bowl, the top Arizona skiing destination. Snow Bowl is open all winter season for some thrilling skiing and snowboarding fun. You will find a variety of trails that can be accessed across the several ski lifts. Each year Snow Bowl closes down for the year around the time that spring comes around. This is typically done around the middle of March when most Spring Breaks occur. Make sure to spend one last ride down Snow Bowl when you visit for Snow Bowl. You may not find the peak skiing conditions, but you will find a quieter mountain allowing you multiple trips down the slopes. Snow Bowl has an onsite rental company so you can check out gear for the today leaving yours at home. If you do have your own gear all you will need to pay for is the ski lift pass that will be extremely budget friendly this time of year. Make sure one last ride down the slopes of Snow Bowl is on your Spring Break agenda here in Flagstaff.
Visit Lowell Observatory
If you live in a big city, you know that it can be difficult to see the starry sky at night. Luckily, Flagstaff makes sure there is minimal light pollution here in Northern Arizona making looking up at the stars easier than ever. There is no better place up north than Lowell Observatory to learn all about the stars and to go stargazing as well. This local observatory is the home to the Lowell Discovery Telescope, the 5th largest optical telescope in the country. General admission into the observatory will also grant you access to historic exhibits, science talks, tours of the property, and stargazing. Make sure to stick around at night to peek through the telescope for an unparalleled view at the stars. Keep in mind that Lowell Observatory closes at 5:00 PM every Tuesday so any other day of the week is recommended for you to visit if you would like to stick around for stargazing.
Go Hiking at Meteor Crater Natural Landmark
Many of the hiking trails in Flagstaff will open up just in time for Spring Break. This includes Meteor Crater Natural Landmark that is approximately 30 miles east of Flagstaff. While visitors are unable to descend into the crater, they can explore the rim by hiking the Meteor Crater Trail. This easy trail is only a mile in length making it perfect for individuals of all ages. Make sure to leave your pup at the vacation rental as this trail does not allow any dogs on it.
