Dewey, Arizona

Population: 52,894

A gateway to the Grand Canyon National Park, Flagstaff's unblemished natural beauty is complemented by an expansive arts scene surprising for the town's size. Though the canyon is by far the area's most popular outdoor destination, other national parks focusing on both natural scenery and ancient human habitations abound in the nearby region. Southwestern heritage thrives in the city, anchored by the crafts of local artisans and annual events such as the Hopi and Navajo Festivals of Arts and Culture. Along with the town's tourism-driven economy, the presence of Northern Arizona University has contributed to the city's lively feel, encouraging the formation of many fantastic performing arts companies as well as the establishment of numerous nightlife destinations.
