I absolutely loved visiting AZ with my husband on our anniversary trip. Good thing we went on May because it was starting to get hot when we visited. People were nice and very touristy but liked the hike and loved the train rides.
Simply put, I'm in love with Arizona! It is such a beautiful state for outdoorsy people and is filled with gorgeous landscapes, fantastic places to eat and an overall sense of serenity & peace. We visited Sedona for the first time in the Fall of 2021 and hiked a dozen trails, from Devil's Bridge to a Jeep Tour on the Broken Arrow Trail. It was there I saw my first wild tarantula. Recently we made our way to the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, Antelope Canyon and City of Page. I cannot say enough times how much I've enjoyed each visit with my husband of 25 years. We are eager to make plans to return, but this time we hope to bring our entire family to show them the beautiful treasures we've found in Arizona. It is no wonder people speak fondly of the vortexes, because Arizona truly seems to seep deep into your soul. I personally think the entire state is a vortex. Be sure to visit: Sedona, AZ Page, AZ Antelope Canyon Glen Dam Overlook Horseshoe Bend El Patio Mexican Restaurant The Hudson Restaurant Bell Mountain Chapel of the holy Cross Slide Rock State Park Devil's Bridge Trail The Tea Pots Trail Airport Mesa Grand Canyon via helicopter Lake Powell to Rainbow Bridge Grand Canyon Brewery and Marble Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Cathedral Wash Slot Canyon
This is based on just 2 or 3 tris over the years to this great state. I drove through here with my parents as a kid and we made the usual tourist stops such as pertified forest, the meteor crater and Grand Canyoun. Ive flown in for a couple of business trips but didnt really get out of the resort! I always wanted to return but seems Ive been restricted to a few dive throughs. However, those drive throughs were always interesting especially when you see the huge suigaro cactus and desert.
I love it here. Been before for Phoenix and baseball and made it to Jerome. Loved that trip and am back solo meeting a friend at some point and staying in Sedona. Absolutely love it here and would love to live winters in Sedona. Such a slower pace that truly works for me and my brain injury. It's so cute here and the views are stunning.
Arizona was sooo beautiful. I am so glad I went on this group tour with my friends from Vegas for just a day. So sad we didn't get to see antelope because of the rain. Still very grateful for the Mother Nature gifts of horseshoe and the Grand Canyon. I am so glad I came here in the winter. Grand Canyon covered in snow was absolutely beautiful. I do want to say the west does look somewhat similar tho but it was still super beautiful. I know for sure I want to come back for local food, summer views and more importantly the hikes!! I love it!!! And now cross off another national park on my list!
If I could go back, I would because there's so much to see and do in this beautiful state. There's national parks to incredible hikes and sceneries it's literally endless. I've been to the Grand Canyon twice, hiked Devil's bridge, swung by Sedona around Native American lands, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe bend and much more! It's absolutely beautiful and you can really find yourself here. It's a wonderful way to self care and explore how beautiful this world can really be.
The Grand Canyon State! Other than my home state in California and Nevada, Arizona is the next state we frequently visited. If my mom would stop giving me guilt trips about leaving California I'd already be living here or elsewhere in the western part of the country. Since marrying my hubby 9 years ago I've enjoyed the beauty at these iconic places that the Great State of Arizona has to offer. The Grand Canyon was my first National Park to visit. One of the world's natural wonders we finally completed all four rims over the years. We did a single visit to each rim (the beauty are all different from each one) we'd like to come back and revisit again someday: Grand Canyon South Rim [Mather Point, Jul 8, 2010] Grand Canyon East Rim [Desert View, Dec 19, 2010] Grand Canyon North Rim [Oct 30, 2016] Grand Canyon West Rim - home of the Skywalk [Peach Springs, Nov 24, 2017] Visited an itty-bitty part of AZ at the Four Corners - one of the corners was AZ [Dec 6, 2012] and then drove to see the best preserved meteorite crater on Earth at the Meteor Crater [Winslow, Dec 6, 2012] We can't forget about Sedona and the pink jeep tours [May 23, 2013]... the red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests surrounding this town are just so pretty. I would love to see this view everyday from my office window. Twice in the same year we visited the O.K. Corral in Tombstone [Mar 15 and May 3, 2015]. There's something about the history of the shootout between the Earp brothers facing off against the Clanton-McLaury gang that intrigued me. I love history now... (not back in high school, though) LoL! In September of the same year we stayed in one of our timeshare locations at WorldMark Rancho Vistoso [Oro Valley, Sept 5, 2015] and visited the Saguaro National Park [Tucson] and Casa Grande Ruins Monument [Coolidge]. Booked another timeshare location at WorldMark Pinetop [Pinetop, Oct 29-31, 2016] and enjoyed meeting Yelpers in Scottsdale [Hopping Across AZ UYE @ Hopdoddy's Burger Bar] Oct 29, 2016... such great people whom some I met during YSB San Diego. We actually came to Scottsdale to attend a wedding of one our Yelp friends, Corina J! Of course, we couldn't pass up seeing another national monument before leaving AZ at Tonto National Monument [Roosevelt, Oct 31, 2016] Completed both Lower and Antelope Canyons in two separate visits: Horseshoe Bend [Page, Sept 2, 2017] Lower Antelope Canyon [Page, Sept 2, 2017] Upper Antelope Canyon [Page, Nov 30, 2019] Horseshoe Bend [Page, Nov 30, 2019] Thank you Great State of Arizona!

We came here to look at ASU and I ended up falling completely in love with Arizona and in particular the Phoenix area. I wasn't quite sure what I was expecting but whatever expectations I had were completely blown to bits by our amazing experiences. The first thing you can't not notice is the heat. You sometimes see 116 degrees on the news about the Phoenix area. Fortunately it was not 116 but rather 99. Sounds hot and I guess it is but I never really FELT hot. Dry heat? Lol indeed. I hate hot but this was different for certain. After about the forth day here it became clear that the heat indeed is dry. 9 percent humidity is the key to this. Still, not sure if I want to try it out later this summer when the real heat comes. We saw 3 homeless while we were here. We found that very odd but by no means a problem. We saw no graffiti on walls and things were very clean everywhere we went. The freeways are exceptionally clean AND fast I might add. Bay Area drivers have nothing on this area's drivers. Nobody goes slow here. Wow! The traffic signals all make sense. Landscape? Oh, just a little. You would need a few weeks to check the state thoroughly to be sure. In Phoenix the is a place called Dobbins Lookout. Eye opener. I've never really been in an environment like this before. The Grand Canyon? Haven't been yet but it's on the list. We just couldn't get over how everything was so clean. Someone put a ton of thought and effort into making sure all parts of the freeway look fantastic. I give AZ a solid five stars!
One of the most Beautiful and Majestic places in the world to see . We enjoyed and was amazed at the sites and scenery. It's definitely at bucket list item to see . We will definitely go back soon . #The GrandCanyon Also the drive up thru Sonoma and Flagstaff were also amazing . Arizona is a state to revisit. If you go in July be prepared for the HEAT.
Bring lots of cold water and avoid the Karen's! Watch out for rattle snakes and camel spiders if you wear sandals! Highly recommended during the cold season, summer weather is a killer!
I've been to Phoenix a half dozen times, though only twice since I've been Yelping. And last year, my road trip from Denver to Las Vegas brought me through Arizona with stops in Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. Yes, the Grand Canyon is absolutely incredible. A World Wonder in fact and you should not miss it. Please understand that it's not exactly close to Phoenix. It's at least a 7 hour round trip and understand that the Highway Patrol will pull you over for going faster than the posted 80 miles an hour speed limit. But there's more to the state than the Canyon. The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff was where Pluto was discovered. The Pima Boneyard is where old aircraft go when they're not needed any more. Monument Valley, on the Arizona/Utah border. The Hoover Dam, on the Arizona/Nevada border. Sedona, Havasu Falls, Petrified Forest. Antelope Canyon. And I've only been to *some* of those places. Writing this list has me thinking that I need to be back in Arizona. Soon.
A 30 minute drive will change the landscape completely! We were in a snowstorm and then walking around what looked like Endore. Everyone must see this beautiful state!
I drove all around Arizona to find the beauty in the state and came across a few unforgettable moments. Unfortunately Arizona is very hot and very bare. If you like dirt, rocks and bushes, you may enjoy this state more than me. I would recommend, Phoenix, Horseshoe bend and the Grand Canyon.

Wow. Who knew you could review individual states on Yelp? Anyway... It was a great joy to travel to this amazing state and see all it had to offer. So much to see. Where to being? Well we explored parks. Different places to eat. Had the joy of going to THE BEAUTIFUL GRAND CANYON! Go and watch the sun come up over the canyon. And the sun go down later on. It will take your breath away and sweep you away with the sheer magnificence of it. Sedona is just as stunning. You are surrounded by Red Rocks. Try to eat in town maybe outside or at least somewhere with mountain views. You may encounter a little town called Two Guns. I think the population was four people when we went and we met two of them. So we can say we met half the town! Loved Scottsdale. The homes were so unique looking. Did not love Phoenix. Sorry but there was alot of smog and it was to much of an urban sprawl for me. We got lost a few times. One thing I would advise: it can get hot in Arizona and sometimes you cannot feel the heat. It really isn't a humid heat like Florida. On days when it is REALLY hot..and it did reach 115 degrees while I was out there..you need to drink plenty of water and hydrate yourself, particularly if going outdoors. I wound up getting Sunstroke which my wonderful friend called to my attention. It really IS a dry heat so be aware. Loved the whole state though. It is a stunning collage of glorious mountains, parks and stunning horizons. I cannot imagine how cool it is to live there. We had a great time and if you haven't been you need to go! read more
Yelp for a State: How Cool! Is the entire state is as friendly as all the places we visited?!?! Click on "me" to read all my reviews of our trip flying in/out of Vegas and encircling the Grand Canyon. - Bridge at Hoover Dam: step in/out of the State Line. - Kingman: Make a point to go to Garibaldi's (absolutely see my review & make a point to go - best meal of our entire trip, seriously!). FYI: 1.5 hrs to Grand Canyon West from here (shorter vs Peach Springs & Seligman). - Seligman: A "MUST" VISIT/STAY! Historic Route 66 & AKA "Radiator Springs" from the movie "Cars." See my reviews of Seligman, Canyon Lodge (best lodging), Delgadillo's! - Peach Springs: It's "soul and purpose" is to do the whitewater experience including a night at Hualapai Lodge (book early & get a better room - important, given the train!). Consider Grand Canyon Caverns as a stop: just east/south of Peach Springs. - Williams: HIGHLY recommend A DAY here! Awesome town with cool shops and lots to see/do! See my reviews. The train, Wild West Junction, and Snack Shack are "musts." - Grand Canyon South Rim: Bull-ya! Crowds or not, a "must" if you want to have your breath taken away by the views! (See my reviews of El Tovar Hotel, El Tovar Dining Room (dinner), Maswik Lodge, +). - Grand Canyon East Rim: Awesome and different views of the Canyon! Driving eastwardly from the South Rim to vista points may be enough (we drove to Horseshoe Bend, encircling the Canyon). Again, see my reviews to plan accordingly; do recommend including Antelope Canyon if you have time. ARIZONA: Our 1st time here. After our experiences, it's a state I'd consider moving to... especially because of how nice the people are in our experiences! Hope this helps! read more

REVIEWER #9 MY FIRST TIME TRAVELING TO ARIZONA!!! Now that we got that out of the way! WHOA! Arizona has been on my to-do list for a while and when my trip finally came up I was extremely enthusiastic. After hearing all the negatives about this state: It's too hot (115 and over) and there's nothing to do out there...blah..blah ...blah I can definitely say I enjoyed my 4 days and there was so much to do and see that I could have stayed more days! THINGS TO DO: * Grand Canyon (My favorite part of my trip!) * Marshall Butterfly Pavilion (I didn't get to see it but I hear it's a great experience) * Pink Jeep Tour(They have TONS of tours! Try one of them, you won't be disappointed) * Phoenix Zoo * Campe Verde out of Africa Wildlife Safari (The BEST thing you can possible do it AZ!) Please don't come to AZ WITHOUT doing this! * Castles N Coasters * Desert Botanical Garden * Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium NIGHTLIFE: * Scottsdale (Has TONS of bars and shopping to do) * Downtown Phoenix * Cobra Arcade Bar BEST FOOD: * Taqueria Los Yaquis- Have you seen taco truck sale tacos for a $1? Because in California that is definitely hard to find out here! * Social Tap (Perfect for nightlife and where else can you get a great bar and food joint? * Dillons KC BBQ * Majerle's Sports Grill SHOPPING: * Tons of boutique stores! I didn't get to see all of them but I love boutiques so I definitely, recommend you go to a few. * Outlets of Anthem * Scottsdale Fashion Square Okay, So take notes because not only are these the best places and joints to go to when you're in AZ but I was nice enough to give you some of my itinerary. (Thank me later) Have a wonderful time in AZ because I sure did! Everyone is nice and the weather (although it's hot) It's a great place to be! Until next time Arizona! REVIEW 78/196 read more
You Know You're In Arizona When .... You think Taco Bell is the local phone company. You notice your car overheating before you drive it. You no longer associate bridges or rivers with water. You can hear the weather forecast of 115 degrees without flinching. You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour...and it will be over 100 degrees. You discover, in July it only takes two fingers to drive your car, because your steering wheel is so hot. The best parking is determined by shade.....not distance. You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use your fireplace. You realize that "Valley Fever" isn't a disco dance. You can make sun tea instantly. Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one. It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation and yet all the streets are totally empty of both cars and people. You actually burn your hand opening the car door. Sunscreen is sold year round and kept right at the checkout counter. You put on fresh sunscreen just to go check the mail box. Some fools will market mini-misters for joggers and some other fools will actually buy them. Worse.....some fools actually try to jog. You can pronounce Saguaro, Tempe, San Xavier, Canyon de Chelly, Mogollon Rim, and Cholla. You can understand the reason for a town named "Why" You can fry an egg on the hood of a car in the morning. You know hot air balloons can't rise because the air temperature is hotter than the air inside the balloon. No one would dream of putting vinyl inside a car. You see two trees fighting over a dog. You can say "Hohokam" and people don't think you're laughing funny. You see more irrigation water on the street than there is in the Salt River You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves You hear people say "but it's a dry heat!" You buy salsa by the gallon. Your Christmas decorations include sand and 100 paper bags. You think a red light is merely a suggestion. All of your out-of-state friends start to visit after October but clear out come the end of April. You think someone driving wearing oven mitts is clever. Most of the restaurants in town have the first name "El" or "Los." You think 60 tons of crushed red rock makes a beautiful yard. Your house is made of stucco and has a red clay tile roof. Vehicles with open windows have the right-of-way in the summer. Most homes have more firearms than people. Kids ask, "What's a mosquito?" People who have black cars or black upholstery in their car are automatically assumed to be from out of-state or nuts. You know better than to get into a car with leather seats if you're wearing shorts. If you haven't worked for Motorola at some time, you must be a newcomer. You can finish a Big Gulp in 10 minutes and go back for seconds. You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Arizona. You take rain dances seriously. You've signed so many petitions to recall governors you can't remember the name of the incumbent. When a rainy day puts you in a good mood. When you drive two miles around a parking lot looking for a shady place - even in the dead of winter. You feed your chickens ice cubes to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. You "hug" a cactus only once in your lifetime. When you have to look up "mass transit" in the dictionary. A hundred ten in the shade is sorta hot, but you don't have to shovel it off your driveway. You wear a bola tie. You take a stroll on Ho Hum Way. The beer is chilled and filled with chili. A haboob happens. Petrified doesn't mean scared. Standin' on the corner sounds good. The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a bit chilly. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top. You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

An Ode to Arizona: A Rendition from the Wizard of AZ Scorpions, and rattlesnakes, and Bearizona. Oh, my. Buttes, and washes, and Valley Fever. Oh, my. Monsoons, and forest fires set by humans, and haboobs. Oh, my. The Stupid Motorist Law, and half day kindergarten, and SB1070. Oh, my. Lumberjacks, and Wildcats, and Sun Devils. Oh, my. More drones, and minute men, and a tall fence. Really? The state animal is the Cactus Wren, and the state rock is petrified wood, and the state gun is the Colt Single Action Army revolver. There's a state gun? Hoover Dam, and Lowell Observatory, and Air Force Facility Missile Site 8. Tombstone, and Route 66, and the Grand Canyon. Goldfield Ghost Town, and Rawhide, and the O.K. Corral. Petrified Forest National Park, and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and Montezuma Castle National Monument. Slide Rock State Park, and Fool Hollow Lake Recreation Area, and Dead Horse Ranch State Park. Oh, yeah. Casablanca, and Three Amigos, and Wild Wild West, and Easy Rider, and Forrest Gump, and two Star Treks, and Natural Born Killers, and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Oh, boy. I wouldn't live anywhere else. read more

Just got back from a roadtrip through the state of Arizona. It is truly a beautiful state with lots to do and see and you're actually pretty close to neat things in other states. I stayed mostly near flagstaff and saw the ski resort. I'm from Louisiana so I don't see snow often and loved it. It was beautiful. I will say if you aren't used to high altitudes, be careful trekking up to snowbowl road. It's at nearly 10,000 ft elevation and within about 30 minutes I was feeling light headed. I also saw the Grand Canyon and man is it beautiful. All in all, if you're thinking of taking a vacation out west I highly suggest Arizona. You won't be disappointed. read more
