Coconino County adve

Coconino County adventures incoming! 😎🍂 If mind-blowing natural wonders and road trip vibes are calling, Upper Antelope Canyon is the dream spot. Here’s the lowdown on how to see the magical light beams in person. Day 1: Arrival & Overnight in Flagstaff Land at Arizona Airport, then hit the road for Flagstaff (about 2 hours drive). This cute college town is perfect for a chill overnight; lots of food options and comfy hotels. Bonus tip: Flagstaff’s compact layout means you can walk everywhere after that long drive! Day 2: The Big One — Upper Antelope Canyon Rise early and drive about 2 hours to Upper Antelope Canyon (Arizona 86040, USA). Book your tour ahead and everyone MUST be on a guided tour (it’s required!). The canyon is open year-round, all day, but morning tours give the juiciest light rays for those surreal photos. Real talk: bring water and a hat, it can get dusty and hot. Taking a camera? Go with a wide-angle lens and keep it safe from sand. Day 3: Explore Coconino County or Chill in Flagstaff You’ve earned a slow-paced day! Swing by cute Flagstaff coffee shops, or do a short hike in the pine forests. Want more canyon action? Slide over to Horseshoe Bend (just 15 min from Antelope) for a wow-moment. Getting Around Rent a car — it’s a must for these distances and flexibility. Gas stations are sparse, so fuel up in bigger towns. Food Flagstaff’s downtown has legit tacos and hearty breakfast spots. The drive out to Antelope Canyon is pretty bare, so pack snacks for the trip. Key tips Book your Upper Antelope tour well ahead; spots fill up fast. Flagstaff is cooler than surrounding desert (bring a jacket at night). For payment, many places accept cards, but always carry a little cash for small local stops. #canyondreams #arizonaroadtrip #flagstaffeats #traveltips #usagetaway#travel
