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.…

Thank you Allie! I have my first exhibit coming up in June - in my hometown of Joliet, Illinois! I am excited.
Allie McCoy April 14, 2010 at 6:48pm

I did not know that, and I qualify! Thank you, Ms. Blevins. I keep learning things on this Website.
Before writing that I viewed your profile page. Your photographs are beautiful.

Yes - Free admission for a whole week! In case anyone out there is 62 or older and you don't know about the pass - next time you are at a National Park, get that pass! It's the best bargain around! For only $10 it enables entrance to the parks - any and all of them - for the rest of your life, with companion!

Free admission to U.S. national parks Saturday through April 25th. All told, there are 392 national parks; Pennsylvania, for example, has 29. http://bit.ly/pSKZC

I LOVE Arizona! Going back in April for the Overland Expo in Amado.

$69.95? I think that's pretty affordable, as far as Arizona tours go. Sounds interesting, too. Did you do it, David? If so, what did you think?

If anybody's in northwestern Arizona or southwestern Utah (not all that far from the Grand Canyon, actually), there's a new specialty tour on the map for those interested in religion (especially Mormonism) and bizarre American history. Several former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (remember, the cult of "prophet" Warren Jeffs, who was convicted of complicity in rape) is starting up a four-hour tour of Colorado City, running out of the nearby town of St. George. It ain't cheap -- $69.95 -- but at least for that you get lunch.

This week's Go-Lo poll concerns Arizona! U.S. travel authority Arthur Frommer recently set off a bit of a firestorm with his tough stance against travel to Arizona, where unusually lax gun laws allowed gun-toting demonstrators to wield their weapons outside a building where President Obama was speaking. Agree or disagree?

Just heard from the tourism folks in Sedona, Arizona -- now they, too are jumping on the "restaurant weeks" bandwagon (here they're calling it "Dine in Sedona Restaurant Fest"). This runs from June 15 to 30 and covers some 20 eateries. This is a little different than others I've heard of because it's dinner only and has three tiers -- you can get the basic prix-fixe for $19.95, a mid-range version for $29.95, and top of the line will run you $39.95.
