Hostels in Arizona

Budget and backpacker travelers will find hostels near the Grand Canyon (Williams, Flagstaff, Tusayan), in Phoenix, and in a few college and gateway towns. They're the cheapest way to base a national-park or road trip, often with shared kitchens, tour desks, and other travelers to split guided trips with. Check dorm vs. private-room options, distance to the park or trailhead, and whether the hostel runs or books its own tours.
