Nature Snack Magic✨
#skitrip
A family vacation at Arizona Snowbowl was filled with snowy fun and unforgettable moments. High above Flagstaff, the mountain views were simply breathtaking. The kids eagerly joined ski school, learning new skills and celebrating every small success on the slopes. We enjoyed gentle runs together, laughing whenever someone took a soft tumble into the powder. The scenic gondola ride offered sweeping views that felt magical under the winter sun. Between skiing and snow play, we shared warm meals and cozy conversations. It was the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and precious family bonding time.

Snowy Joy Ahead⛷️
#skitrip
Our family trip to Arizona Snowbowl was a winter dream come true. Surrounded by snowy peaks near Flagstaff, we spent our days learning to ski and enjoying the crisp mountain air. The kids gained confidence on the beginner slopes while we explored scenic runs with breathtaking views. Chairlift rides became our favorite quiet moments, soaking in the beauty from above. We laughed through playful snowball fights and warmed up with hot chocolate breaks. Each sunset painted the sky in soft pinks and golds. It was a refreshing, joy-filled holiday that brought our family even closer together.

Snow Day Bliss⛷️
#skitrip
Our winter getaway to Arizona Snowbowl was the perfect family escape. Just outside Flagstaff, the snow-covered mountains created a stunning backdrop for adventure. The children loved their first ski lessons, proudly gliding down beginner slopes while we cheered them on. We explored scenic trails, enjoyed smooth gondola rides, and paused often for warm cocoa and laughter. The fresh mountain air and wide-open views made every moment refreshing. After a full day on the slopes, we relaxed together, grateful for the shared memories. It was a joyful mix of adventure, bonding, and winter magic.

A super detailed guide to traveling from the East Coast to the West Coast of the US with your kids to escape the cold!
Our flight from Boston to Phoenix was at 8 AM the day before Thanksgiving, a 6-hour flight 🌵. Since we were planning to relax at the resort for the first two days (hotel recommendations in the previous post), we didn't rent a car and took a taxi directly from the airport.
⛱️Day 1-2 - Relaxing at the Resort: When we arrived, the temperature reached a high of around 20 degrees Celsius, but it was fine for swimming. Sunscreen and moisturizer are still essential! The restaurant I least recommend at JW Desert Ridge Resort is the Asian Fusion; the others were fine…
🌄Day 3 Afternoon - Via Sedona to the Grand Canyon: We rented a car near the hotel and drove to Flagstaff for our Grand Canyon trip the next day… Sedona was a truly stunning town! Searching for "Red Rock Loop Rd" is a very efficient way to see the beautiful scenery. I recommend arriving around 4 PM, as the view is most beautiful near sunset! After the loop, there's the world's only blue McDonald's nearby; we had dinner there and then checked into Springhill Flagstaff.
⛰️Day 4 - Efficient Grand Canyon Tour with Kids: Breakfast was included at the hotel, and we set off for the Grand Canyon at 8 am… I highly recommend entering through the Grand Canyon East Entrance; we arrived at 9:30 am and there was no queue at all! The Desert View Tower is not far from the entrance. I strongly recommend getting your free tower tickets inside the tower first, then coming out to take photos. Afterwards, you can choose one or two stops on the Desert View Drive. We chose Duck on a Rock because it was more fun for the kids, and we could easily take photos and leave by pulling over… Afterwards, we drove to the visitor center to park and rest, and walked to see Mather Point. By then it was already past 11 am. We originally planned to drive to the shuttle red line station to visit, but we couldn't find a parking space… Next time, we should park at the visitor center and transfer directly from the blue line to the red line, but my kids were tired of the scenery, so we just left early to go to Vegas… Around 12 pm, we left the Grand Canyon through the South Entrance; the line to enter was incredibly long.
🎲Day 5 - Vegas Day Trip: This wasn't our first time here, so we only visited a few of the places we most wanted to see. Staying at the Vdara was absolutely amazing! The Sphere and the Broadway fountains were both visible from our beds! My kid was thrilled just looking at the Sphere emojis… The hotel's location was also great, convenient for taking the tram or walking to other hotels… I highly recommend booking a few days in advance at Aria Din Tai Fung; even my kid, who usually doesn't eat much, devoured it! The Cosmopolitan's Secret Pizza was also good! We only saw one show this time, but Awakening is highly recommended!

The 🇺🇸 secret base in the US is a must-visit! 😍
An unnamed cave that's absolutely stunning, no photos misleading at all! The actual cave is magnificent, the wind-eroded patterns are breathtaking 😭💖 It's located next to a gas station in Flagstaff ⛽️ We arrived around 4 PM and there were very few people. It's also beautiful in the evening~ #flagstaff #UStravel #Phoenix #MustVisitInUS #TravelGuide #USItinerary #NewYearDestinations2025

The best hotel in Flagstaff, Arizona
Weatherford Hotel restaurant is a charming place as the whole authentic building. The portabella grill was my favorite on a list to start a day.
Flagstaff, Arizona: a true American town on Route 66
One of the must stop place along the Arizonan segment of route 66 is that of Flagstaff. Despite Arizona being known for its deserts and canyons this town located at 7000ft above sea level has more of an alpine feel to it with it’s towering pine forests and close proximity to the mountains including the Arizona snow dome. The town itself hosts many great eateries and has a real college town feel to it whilst also being incredibly relaxed #Flagstaff #route66

Catch heights and views!
Visited The Grand Canyon. Something about nature and you physically being there. It changes something in you. ❤️
The views are simply awe-inspiring, especially during sunrise or sunset when the canyon glows with hues of orange, red, and gold. Hiking trails like the Bright Angel Trail offer intimate encounters with the canyon's rugged terrain, while helicopter tours provide a bird's-eye perspective of its immense expanse.

#2024 Travel Wishes
The Grand Canyon of the United States is a super big place, it spans several continents, you go there and you don’t understand how the world can be so wonderful, with some so exaggeratedly beautiful and magnificent places, so I hope to continue to the United States this year and see more such grand and exaggerated views! Hope it can be done😂😎🤟
