More About Arizona

Arizona is a well-known and iconic destination known worldwide for the majesty of the Grand Canyon. Boasting sunshine and fine weather all year round, it is a popular Wintersun retreat for us Brits. Scottsdale is rich in history, with plenty of world-class hotels, art galleries, shopping and challenging golf courses. Further afield you will find a fascinating and varied landscape, from the remarkable Grand Canyon and desert cities to working ranches on the Colorado River and miles of cacti. Phoenix is Arizona‘s capital and it has plenty of golf opportunities as well as a good range of shops and entertainment options. The stunning Grand Canyon National Park is the reason so many people come to Arizona. The park has South and North Rims and, in the West Rim, you'll find the glass-floored Skywalk! Take an informative and fascinating tour through the canyon on foot or try a totally different perspective and book a trip in a helicopter, plane or hot air balloon instead - it's a memory you will never, ever forget. On the Utah/Arizona state line, you'll find the popular spot of Lake Powell - a huge man-made lake which was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon following the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam. In this area, you can see wonderful red rock landscapes, Antelope Canyon and the awesome Rainbow Bridge. Twin centre options are endless! You could start your trip exploring the bright lights of Las Vegas before moving on to Arizona, or perhaps you'd like to finish off your stay in Salt Lake City.

Leisure Activities

The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon has to be “the must see” attraction in Arizona. Situated in the northwest corner of Arizona, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The stunning landscape has been carved out by the Colorado River over millions of years. In the late afternoon, the canyon walls glow different hues of red, orange and yellow under the early evening sun. One of the best ways to view the Grand Canyon is by helicopter or light aircraft, and there are many companies in the area that can organise these trips.

Monument Valley

Another impressive natural phenomenon, Monument Valley features towering red sandstone monoliths spread over hundreds of acres. Some of the towers reach a height of 1000 feet. Situated in the Navajo Tribal Park, the area has featured many times as a backdrop to some of the most well-known Western films, dating back to the 50’s.

Hoover Dam

One of the world’s most impressive engineering projects. Completed in 1935, it spans the Colorado River linking Arizona with Nevada. The waters held back by the dam form Lake Mead, which is the largest man-made lake in the USA. Tours of the structure take place daily.
