Think Phoenix and most people think heat and desert but the city is a bright, contemporary oasis in the middle of some of the most spectacular landscape around.
Stay within the city and see a professional sport played or play a few rounds of golf yourself.
Intrepid souls who explore beyond the city limits will find phenomenal hiking, camping, bicycling and more in a variety of locales.
To the east of Phoenix lie the Superstition Mountains, complete with the legend of the "Lost Dutchman Mine."
To the north of the city rests the Coconino National Forest. A favorite attraction there is Mormon Lake which provides endless water recreation possibilities.
And, of course, don't forget the spectacular Grand Canyon (an approximate four hour drive from the city.)
No matter what you're yearning for you'll find it in Phoenix!
