Valley of the Sun

Welcome to the Valley of the Sun! Here, you will find more golf courses than any other major city in the U.S., along with great cuisine, sophisticated shopping, and plenty of fun outdoor activities ranging from horseback riding to hot air ballooning.

Located in the beautiful Sonoran Desert, Phoenix enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, and is famous for its spectacular sunsets. Craggy mountain ranges surround the city, magnifying colorful dawn and dusk light displays. The city's many parks offer over 200 miles of hiking trails for visitors to explore. Downtown Phoenix has seen some major revitalization in recent years with the addition of the Arizona Center (shops, gardens, restaurants and theaters), Patriots park (for daytime music and entertainment), a new art museum, science center, a restored Orpheum Theater and the Herberger Theater (drama). America West Arena and Bank One Ballpark bring thousands of major league.

The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those who explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.

Some people visit Sedona for the breathtaking beauty that fills the senses and feeds the soul.  Some visit to shop in the delightfully eclectic shops and galleries. Many others visit to savor the flavors and scents of our restaurants, to be pampered in a world-class resort or stay in a log cabin while sampling the diverse cultural events all year long.

It's a place packed with energy, a town surrounded by natural wonders.  With more than two hundred restaurants, unique attractions, and colorful night spots, the small-town charm will give you big-town excitement. Culture and clean air, festivals and forest paths, Flagstaff is year-round enjoyment.
