The state’s terrain goes far beyond arid desert, and there’s no better proof than the Arizona Snowbowl. The chairlifts at this ski area near Flagstaff soar 11,500 feet into the San Francisco Peaks and provide access to 32 powder-dusted trails in wintertime. In summer, visitors can hike, play disc golf or ride the chairlift to the summit for a panorama that includes views of the Grand Canyon 70 miles in the distance.
