Arizona offers tourists much more than the Grand Canyon

The nation's sixth-largest state, once known primarily for gold and silver mining and a certain shootout that involved Wyatt Earp, has become a major tourism destination. Much of the activity is centered around the capital and largest city, Phoenix.

Arizona is a huge state and one must spend months if not years to truly see all of its national & state parks, citys and landmarks. Plan on making several long visits to the Grand Canyon State!

Arizona has more going for it than a canyon in the north and cactus in the south. California's eastern neighbor is celebrating its centennial, and that means a proliferation of fairs, parades and the like, as well as square dance festivals and at least one cowboy poetry conference.

What do visitors do once they've arrived? Golf is near the top of the list, with nearly 200 courses in the greater Phoenix area. Biking and hiking are also popular. Native American culture is everywhere, and families with children often wind up at Old West sites and wildlife parks...
