Locations

Filmmakers have chosen Flagstaff and the surrounding area as a prime shoot location since the early 1920s.

Flagstaff is the largest city in northern Arizona, making it ideal for production bases. The city links Interstate 40, Interstate 17, Highway 89 to Page and Utah and Highway 180 to the Grand Canyon. Historic Route 66 also passes through downtown. The city offers a variety of lodging, dining and shopping opportunities for cast and crew.

Visualize breathtaking backdrops for any project. Within 45 minutes of Flagstaff are lush aspen meadows, extensive pine forests, primeval lava flows and volcanoes, the snow-capped San Francisco Peaks, numerous lakes, the red rock canyons of Sedona and historic Native American dwellings.

Flagstaff is a great “set” itself, with a restored historic downtown, including the old Santa Fe Railway Station, a turn-of-the-century college campus, famous homesteads and Lowell Observatory.
