If one of your favorite winter activities is hiking, then we’ve got you covered. And if you love the snow and winter scenery in Arizona, well, you’ll love this hike! One of the snowiest parts of the state is Flagstaff and you’re bound to get a great cold-weather hike in, scenery included. Let’s take a trek along the Mars Hill Trail, shall we?

There's nothing quite like breathing in cold winter air up in the mountains. While most people head to Snowbowl for skiing and snowboarding during the winter, others hit the epic trails of Flagstaff.

Flagstaff certainly transforms into a winter wonderland this time of year, and there's a trail I'd like to suggest you check out. Located within the Coconino National Forest, the Mars Hill Trail is chock full of winter scenery this time of year.

Mars Hill Trail is a 3.5-mile out-and-back trek with an overall elevation gain of 449 feet. It's rated "easy" for those of you who aren't looking for anything strenuous.
