Prescott traffic jam, Northern Arizona edition. 🦌

A good reminder when you’re driving around town: wildlife doesn’t always wait for a crosswalk. Slow down, stay alert, and give them plenty of room to finish crossing.

Anyone else had to stop for a group like this lately?

Don’t call it a day when the sun goes down. ✨

A few things can make a Northern Arizona stargazing night way better:

• Check the cloud cover and moon phase before you go
• Give your eyes 20–30 minutes to adjust to the dark
• Use a red-light setting on your headlamp or flashlight when you can
• Keep bright phone screens to a minimum

No telescope required.

Fall is starting to show up around Prescott. 🍂

Banning Creek is a good one to keep in mind this time of year, especially if you’re looking for a forest walk without heading far outside town.

The trail winds through ponderosa pine and creekside vegetation, which makes it a nice spot to catch some seasonal color as October moves along.

If you’re heading out, check current trail and weather conditions first, since fall color can shift quickly from week to week.

Looking for a fall day trip in the Verde Valley? Put Verde Canyon Railroad on the list. 🚂

The four-hour round-trip ride leaves from Clarkdale and travels through Verde Canyon, with access to open-air viewing cars along the way.

And if fall color is the goal, keep an eye on the calendar: the railroad’s Fall Color Tours take place from late October through late November.

Definitely one to book ahead and build a day around.

Have you ridden the Verde Canyon Railroad?

One of the more fun Route 66 stops in Williams: dj’s Wild West Junction. 🤠

It’s part restaurant, part saloon, part Old West throwback, all right on historic Route 66. You can grab food at the SmokeHouse Café, stop into the Long Horn Saloon, or just check out the western-style courtyard and buildings.

It’s an easy add-on if you’re already spending the day in Williams.

Have you stopped here before?

Fall is one of our favorite times for a Prescott day trip. 🍂

Start with a morning hike around Thumb Butte, then head downtown for lunch and a walk around Courthouse Plaza and Wh***ey Row. If you’ve got more time, add Goldwater or Lynx Lake, or make a later-October trip out of it and check out the Halloween displays along Mount Vernon Avenue.

Prescott also has a full October event calendar this year, so it’s worth checking what’s happening before you pick your weekend.

If you’re traveling Highway 89A between the Page area and the North Rim, make time for a stop at Navajo Bridge and nearby Lees Ferry.

At Lees Ferry, you can actually drive down to the Colorado River, and it’s also a major launch point for river trips into the Grand Canyon.

It’s one of those easy add-ons that can turn a travel day into part of the trip.

Have you stopped in Marble Canyon before?

Sedona tip: don’t try to do everything in one day. 🌵

Pick a hike or two, leave time for lunch and wandering around town, and give yourself some breathing room between stops. Sedona is a lot more enjoyable when you’re not racing from one viewpoint to the next.

What’s the one thing you’d tell a first-time visitor not to miss?

Planning a Flagstaff leaf-peeping day? Don’t pick your date based on the calendar alone. 🍂

Fall color around Flagstaff changes at different times depending on elevation, so conditions can look completely different from one area to another.

Before you head up, check Discover Flagstaff’s LEAF-ometer for current color updates and suggested viewing areas. It was updated for the 2026 season and is tracking conditions now. Discover Flagstaff

Consider this your sign to plan a day trip to Jerome.

Give yourself a few hours to wander downtown, pop into the shops and galleries, grab something to eat, and see where the day takes you.

Jerome is one of those places that’s better when you’re not in a rush.
