This first thing that comes to a lot of people’s minds when they think of Arizona are the cacti, or the stately Saguaro - only found in this part of the world. They also dream of going to places, such as the Grand Canyon, relaxing at a Phoenix or Tucson resort, or planning a winter journey to Flagstaff. As a travel agent expert for Arizona, I can point you towards some great travel packages and beautiful places to spend a vacation. The best times to go to Arizona are in the spring or fall. Both times offer pleasant temperatures and you can get around without worrying about a monsoon rain. High travel times are May and June while you’ll find the lowest airfare rates during January. Regardless of when you go though, I can arrange a trip that will meet your travel requirements and budget. Nothing can compare to Mother Nature's majestic force. That is why seeing the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience. The Grand Canyon Railway, which has fascinated tourists since 1901 and transports them from Williams to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, is one of the most unusual ways to get there. Before the train leaves, don't miss the Wild West Shootout at the 1908 Williams Depot, and keep an eye out for wandering musicians and bandits while you're riding. The South Rim is the most well-known part of the Canyon since it is the easiest to visit (consider reservations months in advance for tours or other special experiences). Try taking a trek on the well-known Bright Angel route if you have a few hours to explore. Travel as far as you feel comfortable, but keep in mind to bring enough water, as you’ll need to hike back the same distance in the other direction. The Petrified Forest National Park is one of Arizona's less well-known but equally impressive natural wonders. Located in northern Arizona, it stretches 150 miles from the Grand Canyon to Petrified Forest National Park. View the 500-year-old petroglyphs at Newspaper Rock with a pair of binoculars. The Painted Desert is part of the northern section of the Park; therefore, your travel back in time is not quite complete (most of the rest of it resides in remote areas of the Navajo Nation). Forget what you imagine the Painted Desert is said to look like. You have to see it yourself. The land is saturated in color - from rich crimson to exquisite lavender, like the sunset left its mark on the landscape. While you’re there, visit the Painted Desert Inn National Historic Landmark, which is close to the Petrified Forest National Park's north gate. It offers a beautiful view from a number of vantage points. Sedona, in Arizona, represents another one of Mother Nature's locations that astounds visitors with her hues, panoramas, and tranquility. If the Grand Canyon rules the state as a “King” tourist attraction, Sedona is the landmark’s regal queen. Four vortexes, or earth-based energy centers, are said to be located amid the majestic red and pink rocks of Sedona. The Bell Rock vortex is one of the most well-known and is reputed to strengthen and balance male and female energy. Vortexes, as enhanced energy sites of the earth, are believed to promote meditation, prayer, mind-body healing, and the ability to think creatively. You can also enhance your energy by visiting a Sedona spa - places that also offer an otherworldly escape. The well-known Devil's Bridge and West Fork paths are highly rated by hikers for an adrenaline rush, while helicopter trips above the red cliffs are guaranteed to leave you in awe. Arizona is also a golfer’s paradise. No other place can equal the variety of golf courses in the state. Want to take on a challenging desert course? Take a look at Troon North. Need some Scottish inspiration? Proceed to the Kierland Golf Club, where a bagpiper performs every evening at sunset. The Canyon Course at Forest Highlands in Flagstaff, Quintero Golf Club in Peoria, and The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Dove Mountain in Tucson are other select courses. The majority of on-site pro shops can outfit you with everything you need for your day on the greens if you don’t bring your clubs. Whether you wish to hike, view nature, bike, play golf, meditate, enjoy a spa treatment, or relax next to the pool, I can lead you to the ideal Arizona destination.
