Historic Route 66 runs straight through downtown Flagstaff, where century-old brick storefronts now house coffee shops, galleries, outfitters, and restaurants. It is a compact, walkable district with a distinctly mountain-town feel.

The same blocks anchor Flagstaff's community life. Farmers markets, live music, and street events draw locals and visitors alike, and the view of the San Francisco Peaks from the middle of town is one of the best in Arizona.
Downtown Flagstaff also sits at the western gateway to the Grand Canyon, making it a natural base for a Northern Arizona road trip, with Route 66 continuing west toward Williams and beyond.
