Around the State

Arizona is one of the few places in the United States where it is possible to enjoy a game of golf in the morning and ski atop the snow-covered mountains in the afternoon. It is the vast diversity of climate and culture that makes Arizona the appealing tourist destination that it is today.

Best known for the mile-deep Grand Canyon, Arizona boasts hundreds of natural and historical sites. From the mystique of the Kartchner Caverns, to the ancient walls of Casa Grande, to the brilliance of a desert sunset and to the unique and storied landmarks, Arizona offers a multitude of destinations throughout the state.


Northern Arizona
The Grand Canyon, Sedona's famed red rocks, Flagstaff's forested mountains, Lake Powell's blue waters and Monument Valley's sandstone spires are some of the natural wonders that await you in Northern Arizona.

Enigmatic landscapes that captivate the imagination and capture the soul are found throughout this singular landscape. Here, the mile-deep Grand Canyon slashes its colorful course across 277 miles, the cobalt-blue waters of Lake Powell mark a stunning contrast against the sandstone shoreline, and the flourishing forests of the San Francisco Peaks seem to reach to the sky.

In addition to beautiful scenery, Northern Arizona also offers the excitement of traveling the "Mother Road", Route 66, the opportunity to explore Native American cultures, interesting local artwork and delicious regional cuisine.
