TOP ARIZONA ATTRACTIONS:

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK:

One of the most popular Arizona attractions still remains the vast and spectacular Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona. The canyon was carved by the gushing waters of the Colorado River which, over the course of millions of years, gave it its distinct natural Grand Canyon Havasu Fallscurves. This steep and colorful gorge is today, considered to be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Grand Canyon National Park was also one of the earliest parks authorized by the U.S Government. To make the most of their Arizona vacation, tourists can choose from a variety of guided tours of the canyon, from one day treks to several days, including helicopter tours and mule rides to the bottom of the canyon. The Grand Canyon Railway, which leaves from Williams, is also a great way to see the Canyon.

 

ARIZONA NAVAJO NATION:

Tired of all the same old boring tourist stops? Explore the beauty and the culture of the Navajo Indian Reservation of Northern Arizona. A trip to this remote, rugged country is an educational experience your family will cherish. The Navajo Nation is not as crowded as many of the more popular attractions and activities, and you will be in awe at the beauty and wonder of the Great Navajo Nation and all it has to offer!

 

Vacationers can choose to spend time among the Navajo Indians. Tours include short and long stays with the tribes who will transport you on tours of this spectacular area. Stories of the other world and guides in forms of spirit animals will awaken your spiritual side. Some tourists also come down to take advantage of the closely guarded secrets of Native Indian medicines, believed to cure various diseases.

 

SEDONA ARIZONA:

Just imagine pampering yourself on a second honeymoon or a romantic getaway for two at a Sedona Vacation Resort,  bed and breakfast or private Oak Creek Cabin,  relaxing with drinks and a sumptuous dinner, mesmerized by a western sky filled with swirls and streaks of vivid colors while a burnt orange sun slips behind the towering red rocks. If this sounds like a wonderful way for you to recharge, it doesn't have to be a fantasy. Your Sedona Vacation is only a short 2 hour drive from Phoenix. 

 

Sedona is also known as a spiritual place. Tourists and vacationers travel from around the world to see the vortex sites, meditate in the shadow of the towering red rocks and visit the many new age stores in the area.
