Top Ten Fun things to do on Vacation in Arizona
- See The Grand Canyon
Not only see it, but take a mule trip down into it, or a whitewater raft trip through it. Check out the Havasupai Reservation and its stunning waterfalls while you're there.
- Visit the Navajo Reservation
Don't miss Window Rock, a thriving modern Navajo community inside the reservation. See the Navajo Tribal Museum or hike to the Window Rock itself.
- Hike the mountains around Tucson
The Santa Catalinas are full of trails, all sorts of trails. Coronoado Nationa Forest maintains rocky trails, lush green ones, and the lower desert trails. If hiking isn't your cup of tea, try driving through the Saguaro National Monument, a vast array of desert and forests of saguaro cacti. Make sure your car is in good condition, and you bring plenty of water. Like desert hiking, desert driving carries some risk, and you don't want to be stuck in the middle of the desert with a broken down car and no water. Make sure your cell phone is charged and working, too. The desert is no joke! Even driving in the desert is an adventure for which you must prepare wisely.
- Visit Petrified Forest National Park
Imagine 60,000 acres of tie-dye. Pre-historic volcanic ash preserved trees into rainbow colored striations across the desert.
- Relax your Soul and take a Spa Vacation
Arizona is the perfect place to take a spa vacation because just being here, you'll feel more in touch with your inner self and with nature. You can't help it!
- Get New-Age-ey in Sedona & Oak Creek Canyon
This is a UFO sighting area but also one of the most gorgeous places in Arizona...those
- Go Skiing in Flagstaff
Or if you like science, visit the Lowell Observatory, where the planet Pluto was discovered.
- Gape at Lake Powell
The Colorado River was dammed up into a canyon in 1956, creating Lake Powell, where you'll see such incongruous, non-desert things as water skiers, motor boats, houseboats, and holiday lakeside cabins. Enjoy your lake vacation in Arizona. Whatever!
- Take the scenic drive through Monument Valley
This is one of Arizona's most photographed areas, and you'll know why as you drive through it on the Valley Drive, which loops through seventeen miles of the valley, passing by 11 incredible natural formations. Two of these in particular are not to be missed: Mittens and the Totem Pole.
- Take an off-road jeep tour down the old Apache Trail.
40 miles east of Phoenix this 50 mile trail will take you past ghost towns, lakes, ancient pueblo ruins, and the Theodore Roosevelt Dam, which was constructed by hand in 1911. All Dams built after this one used modern machinery for construction. You'll be up in elevation on the Apache Trail so look forward to a break from the desert heat and dryness.
