The Visitor services and the Flagstaff Visitor Center have issued a guide showing you how to get to Flagstaff by road, and air; at the end you will find a chart of distances in miles and kilometers to some destination points.

Take the scenic route! As your destination, let Flagstaff be your attraction hub from beautiful Sedona and Grand Canyon National Park.

Northern Arizona’s Attraction Hub

Flagstaff is situated at a major crossroads, easily accessible from the east, west and south. Interstates 40 and 17 provide direct access from the West’s major metro areas, including Albuquerque, El Paso, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and, of course, Phoenix and Tucson. Highway 89 provides access from states to the north, and Highway 180 links Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, just 81 miles (130 km) to the northwest.

Traditional Arrivals

* From the East or West: Interstate 40
* From the South / Phoenix: Interstate 17
* From the North / Page / Lake Powell / Monument Valley: Highway 89

If you are coming from Phoenix, take I-17 north and follow the numerous "Flagstaff" signs. I-17 terminates in Flagstaff at its junction with I-40 and becomes Milton Road which in turn becomes Route 66 in downtown Flagstaff. This is the main artery through Flagstaff. When you arrive, be sure to stop at the Flagstaff Visitor Center in the historic train station, 1 East Route 66. The friendly staff will provide you with free information on local attractions, events, accommodations, and tips on Flagstaff’s diverse dining choices and vibrant nightlife scene.
