Arizona vacations are perfect any time of year
because of our diverse weather.
Hi, in case you have not guessed, this
page is directed to those who live in Arizona. If you live in another state or
country, you may want to start with the Arizona
Vacation page.
Arizona vacations... where was I? Oh yes, I hope you're thinking of
taking a few mini vacations in the next several months. there's lots to do
and see.
Some people must travel half way around the world
to experience the grandeur of Arizona.
Arizona vacations
appeal to people across the
country and around the world. Arizona also has a huge appeal to
those of us who live
in Arizona.
After all, you live within a few
hours drive of world class natural wonders such as...
-
Grand Canyon
-
Monument Valley
-
Painted Desert
-
Petrified Forest
-
Meteor Crater
-
Sunset Crater
-
Walnut Canyon
-
Oak Creek Canyon
Arizona offers numerous state and national parks and
monuments. Locations of Northern Arizona sites are indicated on the map below.

Arizona vacations to hidden treasures such as Beaver Creek
(top photo) send you home with lifetime memories.
It just astounds me how many Arizonans have never visited the Grand Canyon.
Have you taken your family to experience it?
Sedona is another "must see"
destination. The majestic red rock monoliths, beautiful Oak Creek Canyon, the
shops and art galleries, and
the luxurious resorts make Sedona a wonderful place to visit.

The Hubbell Trading Post on the Navajo
Reservation, and places like Canyon de Chelly, Walnut Canyon, Tuzigoot, and many other
lesser known ancient ruins are all worth visiting, and they're all near other
sights and towns that are very interesting.

Arizona vacations are wherever you go around the state. We're
focused on Northern Arizona here, but other parts of the state have their own
charm and history..
Have you traveled a piece of Route 66,
stopping for a meal in a 1950's era cafe in Holbrook, Winslow, Kingman,
or other Old Route 66 towns?
How about a visit to Fort Verde
and the former ghost town of Jerome?
Lake Havasu and the other Colorado River lakes offer
"the Arizona Riviera" for water fun and sun.

Arizona vacations
are their own reason for going, but climate and weather can influence your
timing.
When
it gets hot in the desert, a craft fair, county fair, horse racing, or rodeo in Flagstaff
makes a great reason to go for a weekend. In fact, take a week!

The
weather is just grand, and playing golf is great around Flagstaff when
it hits 100 in the desert.
Other
Arizona vacations are dedicated to fishing for trout, hiking the forest,
hiking or biking the forest roads and trails, and taking photos.
But every last one of them takes plenty of time to lay in the shade of a Ponderosa Pine and let the cool breezes blow away their desert heat.
oh, these perfect Arizona vacations!
Arizona vacations can include snow. Skiing, sledding, and
playing in the snow are big treats for many. Lots of desert kids have never
experienced snow.
The point is... experience Arizona. It's beautiful,
it's very interesting, and it's handy.
