Arizona Highways Passport to Flagstaff
“Passport to Flagstaff” Offers Cool Escape for Hot Deals with Altitude July 9-12, 2009 The historic mountain town of Flagstaff has so much to offer in the middle of summer — cool temperatures, gorgeous surroundings, great spots to dine, play and stay — it’s the ultimate high-elevation destination.
The folks at the magazine have partnered with the Flagstaff Downtown Business Alliance and the Flagstaff Convention & Visitors Bureau to bring great deals to those visiting Flagstaff during the “Passport” weekend. Visitors can download a special “Passport” and present it to nearly 100 participating retailers, restaurants, hotels and attractions to get special offers throughout the weekend. Be sure to look for the July cover of Arizona Highways magazine posted in the storefronts of participating businesses. “In addition to the cool temps, art, culture, history and great restaurants, Flagstaff is the mother lode of Mother Nature,” said Robert Stieve, Editor of Arizona Highways magazine. “You can’t ask for anything more in a mountain retreat. When the community heard we dedicated our July issue to the town, they gave us even more, via great deals in and around town. We’re inviting everyone in the state to the ‘Passport’ weekend, and if you can’t make it in July, Flagstaff is open for business year ‘round!
