Can you recommend "must see" places within Phoenix or Arizona within common?
I'm taking a driving trip from southern California area to Phoenix and I'm looking for philosophy on places to visit along the approach and once in Phoenix. Thoughts on Tucson, Flagstaff, Barstow, etc? Places to chomp through and things to do in Phoenix? Ideas greeting.
Answers:
Tucson is more interesting than Phoenix and it's not far from Noglas, Mexico. There is Tubac, an art community, between Tucson and Nogales. Kartchner Caverns is in Benson, east of Tucson.
I drove from Tucson to the Bryce Thompson Botanical Gardens and it be pretty scenic.
You should try to go to Canyon De Chelly (sometimes spelled Chelly) contained by Chinle in the four corners. It's pretty cold in attendance now so dress good-naturedly. Vermilion National Monument on the road between the South Rim and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a fine drive.
There is also the Chricahua ,Tombstone, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona.
I did a night viewing at Kitt Peak National Observatory which be pretty interesting. You have to clear reservations.

There isn't much on the drive up here, but once you get here, you should consider taking a drive to Payson, AZ. The Tonto Natural Bridge is really elegant.

Scottsdale, Great for shopping! A new Trader Vics Restaurant open up here if you like Polynesian food. Nogales Mexico (Border Town) spick and span restaurant called the Caves. Good shopping available across the border if you're looking for silver, jewelery, leather merchandise. Sedona (Yavapai restaurant at the Enchantment Resort). Nice to look at the beautiful site here from the rooftop deck. If your into spas there is a honourable one here. Kai restaurant in Chandler at the Wild Horse Pass be remarkable. Also a good spa available at this location.
Tombstone.
Once you arrive within Phoenix...I would eat at the best place contained by the valley..its call "Rustlers Rooste". Its on Baseline Road just west of the 10 freeway. Its at the South Mountain Point Resort on the top of the hillock. You have to turn down the slide into the dining room!! Thats the fun part...the food is completely wonderful...a little pricey but distinctly worth it!
Places to see In Phoenix are:
1)Phoenix Botanical Gardens
2)Phoenix Zoo
3)Hall of Flame Firefighting Museum
4)Southwest Museum-Mesa, AZ
Hope that answers your question!!
Firebird Raceway
Arizona State Fair
and adjectives the touristy places like Grand Canyon
hope this help =]
I close to the Phoenix Zoo. You might also see Sedona. Very beautiful and magical.
The white tank for hiking, Scottsdale for shopping, the Phoenix Zoo for the kids, Bisby for the history, and the Queens Creek Mine. Plus now that it's cool the Kartchner Caverns.
Sedona and grand canyon are best.
Based on traveller magzine, top 10 US visit cities are:
1.San Francisco 2.New York City 3.Charleston, SC.
4. Santa Fe, NM 5.Chicago 6.Carmel, CA
7.Honolulu 8.Aspen, CO 9.Seattle 10.Sedona, AZ
You should steal the drive north though Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff and then Interstate 40 to Williams. Turn right and budge to the Grand Canyon. That is one place no American should ever miss. Sedona is beautiful. Don't know much roughly Tucson. Barstow is just a pit stop. Eat, gas up, and hit the road. Near Barstow in that is Calico Ghost Town. It's pretty interesting and a lot of fun. You will probably start seeing signs for it formerly you get to Barstow.
