Arizona

A true oasis in the desert, this sun-soaked getaway offers a striking contrast to the arid landscapes that surround it.

Somewhere in the Mule Mountains of southeastern Arizona, a town clings to canyon walls in a tumble of painted facades, crooked staircases, and copper-stained earth.

Perched right on the edge of one of the world’s most jaw-dropping natural wonders, some buildings just seem to grow straight out of the rock.

A postcard to the Old West, Arizona is a prismatic mix of ethereal landscapes and ancient history.

Previously part of Mexico’s Alto California, the area that became Arizona was ceded to the USA in 1848 after the Mexican-American War.

Arizona is what the Old West is about. From gunfights in Tombstone, to old Army forts in Indian country and the Territorial Prison in Yuma, the 48th state has it all.

Surrounded by dramatic landscapes and steeped in history, this mountain city has long attracted visitors with its diverse natural and cultural attractions.

Once a booming mining settlement and later nearly abandoned, this town has reinvented itself as one of the most charming destinations in the Southwest.

The world famous landscape that is the Grand Canyon has long attracted visitors to this awe-inspiring, one-mile deep chasm sliced into the rocky landscape.

Both the capital and largest city in Arizona, Phoenix lies at the heart of a massive metropolitan area known as the Valley of the Sun.

Overflowing with distinctive landscapes and footprints of the Old West, Arizona offers both iconic national parks and fabled history in droves.

Fittingly nicknamed the “Sunniest City on Earth,” this desert destination is blessed with year-round blue skies and a warm, dry climate.

Somewhere in Arizona’s Black Mountains, about 30 miles southwest of Kingman, a former gold mining camp sits along a crumbling stretch of Historic Route 66.

Set within the wider Phoenix metropolitan area, this vibrant city has a personality that sets it apart.

Known for its upscale atmosphere and sun-soaked setting, this desert city blends luxury with a rich cultural identity.
