There’s something about fall in Flagstaff that makes the season feel extra special. Located at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff offers crisp mountain air, stunning fall foliage, and an array of outdoor adventures that draw people from all over to enjoy autumn’s splendor. Now, imagine owning your very own cabin here, where each fall feels like a personal retreat into nature’s beauty.
At Village Camp Flagstaff, owning a cabin gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in all that Flagstaff has to offer year-round—but it’s during the fall when this mountain town truly shines. Here’s why you’ll fall in love with Flagstaff and why now is the perfect time to make cabin ownership a reality.
Why Fall in Flagstaff is So Special
-
Stunning Fall Foliage
Flagstaff is famous for its beautiful autumn colors. As the aspen trees turn brilliant shades of gold and the surrounding forests come alive with vibrant reds and oranges, the landscape becomes a photographer’s dream. Taking in the beauty of the changing leaves while enjoying a warm drink from the porch of your own cabin is a moment that many only dream of.
The drive up Snowbowl Road or a hike through the Inner Basin Trail gives you front-row seats to some of the best fall foliage in Arizona. And when you own a cabin at Village Camp, this natural beauty is just steps away from your door.
-
Cool, Crisp Mountain Air
As the summer heat fades, Flagstaff’s mild fall temperatures create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor adventures. With highs typically in the 60s and lows dipping into the 30s, fall is the ideal time to enjoy the outdoors without the scorching summer sun or the chill of winter.
Owning a cabin here means you can enjoy these cool, refreshing temperatures any time you like—whether it’s for a weekend escape or an extended stay. The crisp air pairs perfectly with cozy cabin living, especially when you can retreat to your own private space after a day of exploring.
Top Things to Do in Flagstaff in the Fall
-
Take in the Colors at Lockett Meadow
One of Flagstaff’s most iconic fall destinations, Lockett Meadow, is a must-visit for leaf peepers. The meadow is surrounded by towering aspens that turn a brilliant gold each fall, creating a breathtaking contrast against the blue sky and rugged mountains. Hike the Inner Basin Trail for sweeping views of the aspen groves and the towering San Francisco Peaks.

Explore the Lava River Cave
For an adventure that’s a little different, head underground to the Lava River Cave. This mile-long lava tube was formed thousands of years ago and remains a popular destination for explorers. The cave stays cool year-round, but fall is an especially good time to visit since the outdoor temperatures are more comfortable.
-
Visit the Flagstaff Arboretum
If you’re a nature lover, fall is the perfect time to visit the Flagstaff Arboretum. Spread across 200 acres, the arboretum showcases the unique plants and trees of Northern Arizona. Fall brings a burst of color to the landscape, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful walk or a scenic picnic.
-
Experience Flagstaff’s Festivals
Flagstaff comes alive with events and festivals during the fall. From the Flagstaff Oktoberfest on October 5th, where we’ll have a booth set up—come talk to us and learn more about cabin ownership at Village Camp—to the Pumpkin Walk on October 26th at the Arboretum, which features hundreds of lit pumpkins, food trucks, live music, and fun activities for all ages, there’s always something exciting happening. Whether you’re here for the celebration or just enjoying the cool autumn air, fall in Flagstaff is packed with memorable experiences.
-
Go on a Scenic Drive
Flagstaff offers some of the most scenic drives in Arizona, particularly in the fall when the foliage is at its peak. The San Francisco Peaks Scenic Road winds through the mountains, offering stunning views of the autumn landscape. Another must-see is the Mogollon Rim, where towering cliffs and expansive views make for a picture-perfect fall drive.
