Escape to Flagstaff for a mountain getaway - no experience necessary. Ski, snowboard, or simply soak in the winter vibes with your favorite people. Overnight stay included at High Country Motor Lodge, home to Arizona’s first Nordic Spa.

In the evening, unwind at a contemplative winter retreat set against a clear night sky, right off historic Route 66. Complete with fire pits, The General Store, games, sauna, and plunge pool, H.C.M.L. also offers a movie night every Friday, starting at dusk.
