What other small towns in Arizona make good day trip destinations?
The best small town day trip destinations in Arizona include:
With about 16,000 residents, Payson is on the larger end of what we consider to be a small town - but it feels much more like a close-knit community than a big city. Plus, the Mogollon Rim-area town is a nature lover's dream.
From the iconic Arizona Snowbowl ski resort to brilliant fall foliage to a charming and historic downtown district, Flagstaff is worth visiting any time of year.
A former mining town turned artist enclave, Bisbee is quirky, eccentric, and brimming with a unique charm that can't be found anywhere else.
Despite the fact that it's almost certainly haunted, Jerome - another former mining town - makes an excellent day trip destination. The scenery is beautiful, the history is rich, and the food is world-class.
