The Legendary Apache Trail and Roosevelt Dam

In March of 1999, we drove from Phoenix to Tucson in Arizona that included a side trip of the Apache Trail. There were so many things to see we barely touched the surface in our 7½ hour drive. We...

Pros: One of the better tourist attractions without being "touristy"
Cons: Long way by car if you travel from Phoenix

I had the good fortune of working in Arizona the summer and fall of 1999. Loving the heat, the temperatures of up to 115 didn't bother me a bit, although the locals thought I was a bit screwy for standing out in the sun on those days.

I had...

Pros: Lot's of fun
Cons: A little expensive

If you're planning on visiting Phoenix/Scottsdale for the Phoenix Open
this review might help you (or at least I hope it does).

The Phoenix Open is one of the best stops on the PGA Tour and the weather
here that time of year is...

Pros: Lot's of fun
Cons: Men drinking....instant jerks

OK guys.....here it is ....straight from a woman who lives in Scottsdale.

What seems to happen during the Phoenix Open is that many men come to
town for the weekend to see the tournament, leaving at home their wives
and children....

Pros: Great food, variety of accommodations, beautiful & historic town
Cons: B&Bs are pricey, could be touristic at certain times of year

I'm hesitant to give up the greatest discovery of my recent two-week drive through southern Arizona. But here it is: skip the tourist-infested tackiness of Tombstone and continue south on route 80 to the historic mining town of Bisbee. It's a pleasant...

Pros: A picture perfect guidebook
Cons: none

Arizona is a wonder. There are hundreds of spectacular natural wonders and even more historical ones. This is what I think is the best way to see it.

First, like almost all travel, you have to do a little research. For Arizona the very best...

Pros: wonderful setting, well-thought-out museum/zoo
Cons: too hot in summer!

This museum, very close to Tucson (and also very close to the Old Tucson Studios) is a one-of-a-kind, great day out for the whole family.

The museum has been beautifully laid out in the Sonoran Desert, and has very beautiful habitats for the...

Pros: Quiet, beautiful setting, great food.
Cons: Too hot during the day, no night life

Patagonia, Arizona is a two hours' drive from Tucson through the desert. It is a tiny community on the Mexican border near Nogales, and is home to a large colony of artists. The quality of the light is similar to that of Santa Fe, and the afternoons are...

Pros: Great quality of life,weather and natural beauty

Arizona has the most diverse climate in the US. This makes Arizona a great spot to travel to. It has desert, mountainous regions, and a vivid alive culture that will never depart your soul once you leave. Arizona will be with you for life.

Pros: Old west small town atmosphere, with all the amenities
Cons: It ain't Disneyland

Okay, so I'm cheating a bit. I have lived in the Prescott area for 4 years now. I came to Arizona from New York in search of a better lifestyle, and I am just now beginning to appreciate what I have found.

Yavapai County is situated...

Pros: Excellent golf, dining, and sunsets
Cons: Expensive and 45 minutes from nightlife

The Boulder's resort in Carefree, AZ is one of the most relaxing places you will ever visit. Located just North of Scottsdale, Arizona it is a very romantic getaway for those who enjoy golf, fine dining and beautiful sunsets. I visited the Boulders while...

Pros: Awesome beauty, relaxation and energy
Cons: Salty prices

I have always been a skeptic. So, when we visited Sedona last spring, I chuckled in disbelief at the local literature proclaiming the healthful benefits of the local vortexes, where some form of mysterious energy supposedly emanates from the earth.
...

Pros: Beautiful sites, breathtaking
Cons: No complaints

I had the chance to visit Arizona in August '96 when I attended a Golden Key Convention. We stayed at the Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale. The hotel itself was beautiful. The architecture was amazing, the scenery, great and the entire hotel leaves...

Cons: sunburns are all too common

Phoenix the legendary mythical bird who arose from the ashes. It has always seemed such an appropriate name for a city that for years lie in the background only to emerge as one of America's best kept getaway secrets. As Phoenix enters the the dawning...
