Must See Arizona
From top to bottom and everywhere in between, Arizona will blow your mind.
The Grand Canyon
A national Park since 1919, the Grand Canyon is much more than just “a big hole in the ground.” Unique combinations of geologic color and eroded forms, decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles long, and up to 18 miles wide in parts. It’s also up to a mile deep!
Places to explore:
- The North Rim
- The South Rim
- Havasupai Falls

Arizona Architecture
From ancient American Indian cliff dwellings, to mid-century modern marvels designed by none other than Frank Lloyd Wright, Arizona’s architecture has always surprised visitors with its variety. The Mission San Xavier del Bac, south of Tucson, is the oldest European structure in Arizona, combining the native culture of the nearby Tohono O’Odham Nation with the Mission’s Catholic heritage.
Places to explore:
- Arcosanti
- Taliesen West
- Hopi House
- Historic Architecture at Arizona’s State Parks
Arizona Dark Sky Parks
Arizona has more International Dark Sky communities than anywhere else in the world. Flagstaff was the world’s first designated community, and it has since been joined by Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, Fountain Hills, Camp Verde, and the Thunder Mountain Pootseev Nightsky community on the Kaibab Paiute Reservation.
