It’s impossible to overlook the towering mountains, colorful cliffs, pine forests, shimmering lakes, and desert bristling with the stately saguaro cactus. Beyond the vibrant cities, the dramatic landscape stretches toward distant horizons, interrupted by picturesque small towns brimming with charm and Old West flavor. Adventures can be found along nearly every highway Don’t be surprised if some turn out to be life altering.

Soar above Sedona’s red rocks in a hot air balloon. Squeeze between the pearl-smooth walls of sculpted Antelope Canyon. Get your kicks on Route 66. Watch a gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Party in the lonely outback at Desert Bar. Explore an underground mine in Bisbee. Visit Hopi villages and Navajo trading posts. Point a horse between cacti and ride into the sunset. Then wrap your heart around the grandest canyon of all.
