Arizona

Pros: the shows, the old buildings, the people
Cons: touristy, new cars....

I went down to Arizona to visit my brother who lived there, and one of the places he wanted to take me was to Tombstone to see the Ok Corral, and all of the other fun places associated with Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. That place is just so cool. A...

Pros: Green trees, blue water, not a lot of people!
Cons: none

I lived in Arizona for 33 years, before picking up everything and venturing east, so I'm pretty familiar with all the sights the state has to offer. Yes, Phoenix is a desert. That 'dry heat' nonsense gets a little old, because during the summer, when it...

Pros: Great weather all year round
Cons: None that I can come up with

Review Topic:  Overview

Sierra Vista, Arizona is located about 60 miles southeast of Tucson. It has an elevation of around 4800 feet, so it does get a little cold in the winter. It sometimes gets below 40 degrees. We actually...

Pros: Wonderful weather, convenient location
Cons: Older hotel, with unorganized restaurant.

My husband and I made a short trip to Arizona in the early part of November of 1999. Our main reason for this trip was to attend a wedding, but we planned to take advantage of the trip and do a little sightseeing while we were there. If you have never...

Pros: scenery, no traffic.
Cons: not many really. Just a long way between towns

I once drove through Arizona on my way to California. There is not a lot in Arizona. That's what I like. I was on I-10 I believe. Not much traffic so speeding seems to be pretty safe (roads in great shape - wide open area). I went through Tucson...

Pros: Deep discounts, unchallenged package deals, the utter novelty, gambling galore, varied entertainment offerings and possibly learning a new language
Cons: It's a filtered, plastic & sanitized cosmetic remnant of the cities rogue, relentless past. The only sin left in "Sin City" is it's present incarnation.

Perhaps it's supposed to make you feel insignificant or irrelevant. Perhaps Las Vegas' ideal theory on tourism is based on reverse psychology. It's exceptionally plausible. You leave Sin City feeling less like an individual & more like a...

Pros: Many points of interest. Lots of history. Nowhere else on earth like it.
Cons: Extremely desolate. Spring, fall or winter travel due to heat.

The road trip of 2003-2004 began in Tennessee and ended up in Las Vegas, Nevada. The most interesting point along the way was the road through Arizona. The first attraction was the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. I was quite impressed by the ...

Pros: Scenery and people are wonderful
Cons: Not enough time to see more.

We just returned from a months vacation in Arizona and we really enjoyed this trip. Our first stop was in Holbrook, Az. where we drove through the Painted Dessert and the Petrified Forest. Driving through these two parks was awesome. You get to see ...

Pros: Mother Nature at her best!!
Cons: Many unseen dangers!

When Theodore Roosevellt first set foot on Arizona and saw all of it's surrounding beauty, his words were;

Do nothing to mar it's grandeur ~ for the ages have been at work on it ~man cannot improve upon it! Keep it for your...

Pros: One of America's most diverse states...
Cons: The southern half is REALLY hot in summer...

No, Arizona is not just a big desert. Arizona happens to be quite diverse and is definately worth a visit. If you have never seen a cactus, then I recomend the Southern half of the state. There are two major cities within the Sonoran Desert. They are...

Pros: Beautiful and diverse
Cons: Slightly expensive and can get crowded

Arizona is a beautiful place to be during the winter months. Especially if you are coming from someplace COLD!!!!

When I first moved here (many moons ago) I thought I would be a little
disappointed when the holidays approached. Having...

Pros: Fun, expensive and festive
Cons: none

If you are visiting the Phoenix/Scottsdale area over the Christmas holiday
there are a few places you MUST visit.

The first on my list would be Rawhide which is located on North Scottsdale
Road, just south of Pinnacle Peak. It's an...

Pros: sports, great people, variety, skining, golf, petrified forest
Cons: hot

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

The state of Arizona is filled with tons of wonderful vacations destinations and tourist hot beds anyone would be sure to love. There is something for every person under the sun(pardon the...

Pros: beauty, spirituality, proximity to ruins
Cons: center of town is laden with touristic shops

Sedona is a beautiful town in Arizona. No, it doesn't have the massive beauty that the Grand Canyon has, but it's only two hours away, which makes Sedona a great spot for people wanting to make a trip to the Grand Canyon, but also want to check out other...

Pros: Large and comfortable rooms; Lots of activities; beautiful settings.
Cons: Can be expensive depending on the time of year.

The Phoenician Resort, part of the association of hotels and resorts called The Luxury Collection, is located in the plush suburb of Scottsdale, Arizona. I stayed there while was shooting a TV commerical because our producers wanted to...
