In the Middle of It All
Williams is in the center of all sorts of natural beauty and national monuments. To the north is Grand Canyon National Park, of course. But you'll also find smaller less visited national and state parks that reflect the culture and heritage of northern Arizona. To the east is Walnut Canyon and ancient Sinagua Indian ruins. To the south near Sedona is Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monument.
Our Starlight is Close to the Bright Lights of Las Vegas
Sin City is only about 3.5 hours away, so Williams is an ideal site to rest
for people traveling I-40 to or from Vegas or Southern California. The drive
from Las Vegas has something you'll want to see - Hoover Dam. You'll cross
over the historic dam on your way. Stop and take the tour which takes you
down into the dam to see the operation from the inside!
Flagstaff
Williams
is easy on the eyes, but we also recommend visiting Flagstaff. Flagstaff
is set at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, which is the tallest mountain
in Arizona and home to the Arizona
Snowbowl Ski Resort. Hiking, mountain-biking, rock-climbing, and other
outdoor fun is abundant. The bustling city of over 60,000 people have a quaint
downtown with a low building line reflective of western cities built in the
late 1800s and early 1900s.
Northern
Arizona University (NAU)
is also located in "Flag" as the locals call it. You'll find various attractions
like the Museum of Northern
Arizona, which features the anthropology, biology, geology, and fine
arts of the Colorado Plateau region. Or venture to Lowell
Observatory on Mars Hill which overlooks
Flagstaff.
The observatory is famous for finding the planet Pluto and now offers tours.
Flagstaff is a beautiful city. To learn more, visit the Flagstaff
Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Sedona
Sedona is one of the most visited places in the state as people are attracted
to its unique red rocks and monoliths. Sedona's natural beauty is evident
in its compelling surroundings, but
Sedona's
beauty is more than skin deep. Rich with diverse cultural events, spiritual
energy, cozy bed and breakfasts, world-class resorts and spas, golf with
unparalleled views, eclectic art galleries and exquisite cuisine, it is
no wonder that Sedona, Arizona draws nearly 4 millions tourists each year.
If you're going to Sedona, a drive from Flagstaff down highway 89A will stay
etched in your memory forever. The beautiful winding road takes you through
Oak Creek Canyon, home of Slide Rock State Park, where visitors can wade in
the river and float down the natural water slide. For those who want to explore
the Sedona outback, consider taking a Pink
Jeep tour. More information on Sedona can be obtained through the Sedona
Chamber of Commerce.
