Surrounded by the Ponderosa Pines of the Coconino National Forest,
Sunrise Resorts Clints Well offers cool, clear, mountain
air.
This mountain getaway features wildlife right on the grounds of
the resort and nearby lakes for water sports and fishing.
Rolling terrain, mountains, forests, Oak Creek Canyon, and the
Mogollon Rim are only some of the attractions to be found in the
Coconino National Forest. With an altitude of about 7,000 feet the
1,827,435-acre forest has deep canyons in its southern region and
the San Francisco Peaks in the north.
Follow SR89A from Jerome to Flagstaff on a drive through the beautiful
cypress, juniper, and pine trees along spectacularly colored red,
white, and yellow cliffs in the Oak Creek Canyon. It is not recommended
that vehicles pulling trailers more than 20 feet long travel the
steep, narrow road.
Skiing is seasonal, but the chairlift is available daily at the
Snow Bowl in Flagstaff. The 6,450-foot-long chairlift climbs to
11,500 feet, offering breathtaking views of northern Arizona. Only
a hike away, you can also view the Grand Canyon from this vantage
point.
A short drive to the west of the resort is the Montezuma Castle
National Monument and the ruins of an early cliff dwelling. A limestone
sinkhole, Montezuma Well, is a part of the monument. Some of the
area ditches dug centuries ago are still used as a source of water. |
