More Things to Do in Arizona

Looking for things to do in Arizona? Then I have got some great suggestions. Having lived and traveled all over the state I can tell you that Arizona is much more than desert, cactus and coyotes howling at the moon. No matter what your interests you will find plenty to do in the Grand Canyon state.

Grand Canyon: Speaking of the Grand Canyon, cabins and hotels provide ample opportunities for visitors to rest and recover after experiencing the awesome beauty unlike anywhere else in the world. Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim is the center for lodging, dining and shopping.

Phoenix: Attractions in Phoenix Arizona are both man-made and natural. In the spring enjoy the beauty of the blooming desert flora with a visit to the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden.

Surprise: Surprise Arizona is the home for spring training for the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers. Exhibition games take place in the Surprise.

Lake Havasu: Home of the real London Bridge, Lake Havasu Arizona is located on the Colorado River across from Laughlin, Nevada. When visitors are done boating and jet skiing on the Colorado River reservoir they often take the ferry across the river to try their luck at the casinos.

Yuma: Yuma Arizona, located in the southwest corner of Arizona, was once the home of the historic Yuma Territorial Prison. It is now the home of the Army base, Yuma Proving Ground.

Winslow: Winslow Arizona was memorialized in the Eagle’s song that mentioned “standing on a corner” in the town that pretty much died after Route 66 was replaced by I-40. Now Route 66 fans come here to pay homage to Route 66 and most recently to pay homage at the 9-11 Remembrance Garden, honoring the dead of September 11, 2001.

Sedona: If you feel drawn to Sedona, Arizona, blame it on the Sedona Vortex. Believers in the esoterical come to Sedona for vortex tours, and to consult with the psychics and spiritual specialists and see a spiritual awakening.

Arizona ghost towns can be found in every country in Arizona. With names that often speak to their origins during the early days of the gold rush, not all of them are completely uninhabited, while others have become tourist attractions.

Arizona RV Parks can be exclusive, expensive and have all the amenities you could want. Others are cheap, with no amenities, more commonly known as boondocking. The BLM areas between Quartzsite and Yuma, along the Colorado are extremely popular with those independent RVers who don’t necessarily have the money to stay at a regular RV park.

If you are looking for Arizona Spas, you’ll find most in Tucson or Scottsdale. Some are destination spas where people go to get a physical, mental or emotional transformation. Other spas are resort spas, where visitors can decide whether or not they even want to use the spa facilities.
