Valle, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Valle yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Valle is a census-designated place in Coconino County, Arizona, United States. As of the 2020 US Census the population of Valle was 759. It lies at an altitude of 5,994 feet (1,827 m), at the junction of U.S. Route 180 and State Route 64. Its attractions include the Valle Airport (40G), the Planes of Fame Air Museum, and Birds of Prey, formally Bedrock City (Arizona), amusement park. Drivers often stop at the town on their way to the Grand Canyon from either Williams or Flagstaff, as it is approximately at the halfway point.
