Slide Rock State Park
An unexpected turn btween Flagstaff and Sedona
Slide Rock State Park
Between Flagstaff and Sedona, take an unexpected turn into Slide Rock State Park.
Slide into an amazing summer trip in Arizona with a visit to Slide Rock State Park. With plenty of parking, pull your vehicle into the parking lot and it’s just a short walk to get to the fun. Situated on a 43-acre historic apple orchard, Slide Rock State Park offers fun that everyone in the family will enjoy. Slide Rock State Park offers incredible views and tons of family fun with natural rock slides that are smooth and fun to slide on at Slide Rock. Oak Creek has several areas that are kid-friendly without fast-moving water where they can enjoy the natural waterpark. With roughly ½ mile to play and let the kids run wild. Have fun and be safe!
The best time of year to visit is the summer months when the air temperature is warm and the water will cool you off. However, for those looking for a breathtaking experience, don’t hesitate to visit in the off-season months like September & October which offer fewer crowds but the water temperature might be a little shocking. Yes, it does get cold in Northern Arizona so plan accordingly.
Slide Rock State Park also offers hiking without having to get wet. In addition to great hiking and incredible views, be sure to take advantage of the apple picking which is sure to make memories for the entire family.
Word to the wise- The rocks in the water are slippery! Be extra cautious playing in and around the water. If you have kids? Make sure you watch them closely. Slide Rock State Park is an amazing place to visit but there is no lifeguards present. Swim cautiously and at your own risk.

Arizona Cities & Towns
Let’s be honest: You don’t book a trip to Arizona to see what a big city feels like. That being said, we do big and small town right.
Then there are the resort towns, with all the outfitters and outposts you need to go (into the) wild. And lastly, the biggish cities you do find in Arizona punch way above their weight class — have things to do, see and eat on par with the world’s much larger, much less convenient metropolises.

The Grand Canyon National Park
It’s been said that crying is only acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon. We will definitely make an exception for the Grand Canyon. Funerals? It just depends on who passed away.
The South Rim of The Grand Canyon National Park is the most visited of all the rims. Think of it like your Mom’s favorite kid. She says she doesn’t have one, but we all know who she visits most. The West Grand Canyon is where you will find the Grand Canyon Skywalk. This famous glass walkout makes parents everywhere clench up tight enough to squeeze out a diamond. The East Grand Canyon is quickly gaining popularity due to Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend. The North Rim is seasonally limited from May 15th to October 15th.
The Grand Canyon is often viewed as a single destination, but there are four main places to visit and tour. If you aren’t sure what to do, when to do it, or how to make it epic, we recommend hiring one of Arizona’s guides and outfitters.
1540
Hopi guides lead members of the Coronado Expedition (the first Europeans) to the Canyon.
1869
Major John Wesley Powell leads the first successful expedition down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
1882
Senator Benjamin Harrison introduced the first of several unsuccessful bills to establish the Grand Canyon National Park.
1883
John Hance, the first non-native settler, starts to promote mining and other ventures.
1893
The Grand Canyon was first set aside as a forest reserve by President Benjamin Harrison.
1902
The first automobile, a Toledo Eight Horse, made it to the Canyon.
1906
President Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed the Grand Canyon Game Preserve.
1908
President Theodore Roosevelt established the Grand Canyon National Monument.
1912
Arizona becomes a state.
1963
The gates of the dam were closed, flooding the area upstream of the dam; forming Lake Powell.
1975
The park doubled in size by the Grand Canyon National Park Enlargement Act, passed by President Gerald Ford.
Some questions you should ask as you plan your Grand Canyon National Park vacation:
- What time of year are you wanting to travel?
- Who you are traveling with and what are their interests?
- How much time do you have to spend?
- What kind of activities do you want to experience?
When contemplating a visit to The Grand Canyon National Park, priority #1 should be to book your lodging and book it ASAP.
Hotels and Lodging in the Grand Canyon are known to sell out months, or even a year or more in advance, depending on your planned destination and season.
The Grand Canyon National Park hotels and lodges run the gamut from ultra-modern, with all the amenities modern travelers expect, to bare-bones rustic cabins that offer a clean place to lay your head and not much more.
Vacation rental homes, bed and breakfasts, and glamping resorts also warrant consideration for larger traveling parties, individuals who prefer to cook their own meals, and those who wish to experience their destination on a deeper cultural and personal level.
Either way, the Grand Canyon should top your must-see list.
