Arizona

The Grand Canyon, certainly. But also: sophisticated Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, and Tempe; fascinating Native American culture and ruins; golf; spas; rafting the Colorado River; houseboating Lake Powell and others; Sedona Red Rock country.

Horseshoe Bend is among ´Google's Top 10 Most Searched Photogenic Spots in the US in 2022´

Hai Huy Ton/Dreamstime.com This meandering, aptly named stretch of the Colorado River that resembles what its moniker suggests; it’s best viewed from the east rim of the Grand Canyon. Geologists predict that the river eventually will bisect the neck of the bend, producing a natural stone bridge and eliminating the curve. Don’t worry, though - this will take eons, so there's plenty of time to catch this dramatic sight!read post

Phoenix' Hotel San Carlos in 'Sleeping with History at 7 of the USA's most Historic Hotels'

Cygnusloop99 How would you like to spend a night or more at a hotel once frequented by Clark Gable, Ingrid Berman, Marilyn Monroe and a long list of other Tinseltown luminaries? Or snuggle down under the sheets at a former stagecoach stop along the famous Chisolm Trail which played host to George Custer, the cavalry commander in the Civil and American Indian Wars, and Jesse James, who needs no introduction? If luxury and elegance are your preference, how about the Hotel Du Pont in Wilmington,…

Wigwam Hotel in 'Spring Has Sprung & U.S. Gardens Await Discovery'

Spring is here, and summer's already around the corner! If you’re a flower gardener - and the National Gardening Association estimates that members of over a third of U.S. households are - you already may have begun to till soil and plant seeds. And those who like to travel as well as garden (as well as those who enjoy gardens more by watching than working), now is time to plan a trip to take in some of Mother Nature’s bountiful beauty. Gardens come in a variety of types, sizes and offerings.…

At The World on Wheels, our southwest adventure continues. Not all of Arizona is desert. The pretty little mountain town we visit today was the filming location of such films as How the West Was Won, Billy Jack, Bless the Beasts and the Children, and Junior Bonner. It's got great and colorful western history and is home to Barry Goldwater's favorite bar. Come on along to Prescott, Arizona: http://tinyurl.com/2apgp87

I think everyone should try to see the Grand Canyon at least once in their life. I've seen it once and have a yearning to go back.

Where did you go at the Canyon?

Hi Folks, Just dropping by to say hello. I visited Arizona last September (I have a cousin in Tucson), and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Spent 10 days in the state including a couple of nights at Grand Canyon. Instead of cross the GC off my bucket list, I've left it there since two nights is nowhere near enough time at that amazing place.

I hope to return to Arizona again next year, so I will keep an eye on this group in anticipation of learning a lot more about this state.

Cheers,

Jim

I'm looking for writers who cover Arizona to review my book, BACKROADS & BYWAYS OF ARIZONA. I'm also looking for guest posting opportunities and exchanges, or interviews. I'd love to get your take on Arizona, especially if you live outside of the state, for my blog. And I'm more than happy to give you my thoughts. My book has been out a year now, it's selling steadily, and I just found out I'm #24 (of 100) on the Most Wished for Books in Arizona on Amazon.com. I'm about 500 books away from earning back my advance and would love to finish the year out selling those remaining books. Can you help me accomplish that goal? How can I help you?
