Arizonians: What Should I See?

Make the drive, it's worth it. I had to giggle though, in the Southwest a 2 - 3 hour trip is nothing, I forget in the North you can cross states in 2 - 3 hours! Here it's a trip for picnic!

 

I try to stay away from the Phoenix are. Not a big ciyt fan. If, you get down in the S.E. Corner of the state, I can steer you towards some interesting areas.

 

March in Arizona? Spring Training game!

Well, now, let's see. There may be some amazing wildflowers by then as we have had a mild winter and some are already blooming. So, if you hike, then there are great trails just north of Scottsdale up in Cave Creek/Carefree area. And those towns are fun to hang out in and the restaurants are great, too.

The canyon is quite a trip from Scottsdale. 3 hours at least. The way to do it would be to contact the Grand Canyon Railroad and do that!!! Great little train ride out of Williams (my personal favorite spot in AZ) it takes you up to the canyon and then you spend the night up there and then it takes you back. Then on the way home you could stop in Flagstaff, and maybe take a detour through Sedona.

You could do a day trip to the canyon, but it would be a long day! It is the Grand Canyon, though. Definitely worth seeing.

Sedona is an incredibly beautiful place. I would recommend a day trip there.

What do you like to do? Are you an outdoor person? Hiking, biking, jeep tours, spelunking, etc.. are close by.

If you like to shop, then old town Scottsdale, Sedona, Cave Creek.

We have world renowned golf courses if you play golf.

If you go South, there is an amazing hike at Picacho Peak were you can also buy fresh pecans, pistashios, walnuts and fruit. If wildflowers are blooming, then Picacho will be amazing!!! Tons of wild poppies bloom there every spring.

Tucson has the Sonoran Desert Museum, Old Tucson, Tubac, and other wild west adventures. The desert is beautiful to the south of Phoenix.

East of town, there is an arboretum that is pretty beautiful that time of year. Also one in Phx.

There are lots of Spring training games both in Phx and Tucson.

It is also Rodeo season. Did you know that in Tucson, the kids get 2 days off of school in February every year for Rodeo Days?

There's lots to see and do. What are your interests and I can tell you more.

 

If the wildflowers are in bloom (and it may still be too early for that), you must do a hike or jeep tour!! You will never forget it.

The valley of the sun is a desolate place, but when it shines, it really shines!!!

Also, if you fish, we have some of the most beautiful lakes!!!
