7. Flagstaff, Arizona
Who says you can’t have mountains and four seasons in Arizona? Flagstaff shatters that myth. At 7,000 feet, this energetic college town offers cool summers, snowy winters, and brilliant fall colors, all set against the backdrop of the San Francisco Peaks.
It’s an outdoor paradise, with hiking, skiing, and biking right at your doorstep, and it’s a short drive from the Grand Canyon. The presence of Northern Arizona University gives the town a youthful energy, with plenty of cultural events, great restaurants, and excellent healthcare facilities. It’s an ideal choice for the active, young-at-heart retiree.
