Phoenix, America’s fifth largest city, boasts gorgeous desert scenery and has more land designated for parks and preserves than any other major city in the nation.

In addition to its natural beauty, it has big-city offerings, too, such as outstanding theater, shopping, dining, museums, and more.

There are so many reasons to visit Phoenix and explore the wonders of Arizona. Whether your escaping the snow and cold or attending a business conference or family event, there is never enough time to see and enjoy all that the city and state have to offer.  Here are a few of the many outdoor activities you can enjoy in the Arizona sunshine.

Day Trips – The Grand Canyon, Prescott, Sedona, and Jerome are all hours away and waiting for you to explore and check off your Bucket List.
