Arizona
What you need to know before you go
Arizona is where you can see and experience the Wild West at its best. It’s home to iconic natural wonders of the American frontier such as the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. Start discovering the great outdoors with a hike through Sedona, a picnic in the pine forests of Ponderosa Trails in Flagstaff or a journey through the cacti-backed cowboy country of the Sonoran Desert.
Witness the festivity of real modern-day wranglers at various venues across Arizona, including the world’s oldest rodeo in Prescott. For fantastic Southwest American eats, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson promise a culinary journey full of Mexican-inspired flavors. Arizona is most pleasant between February and April; summer can be great for wilderness spotting up in the mountains, while the plains in wintertime can be truly dramatic.
