EXPERIENCE

Local Flavor.

Handpicked from our personal list of favorites, these are the things many tourists overlook.

Native American History

From the city’s culinary scene to its heritage museums, Native American roots are deeply embedded in Phoenix. Collecting the traditions, culture, and history of 22 regional American Indian tribes, Heard Museum offers immersive exhibits and an authentic art shop, plus annual tribal and cultural events.

Hole in the Rock

This is a picture-perfect rock formation in Papago Park boasting legendary views of downtown Phoenix. It’s easy to get to, and the walk up is only half a mile round-trip! Stick around for a spectacular sunset.

Camelback Mountain

Resembling the hump of a camel, Camelback Mountain reaches an elevation of 2,704 feet and offers spectacular views of the Phoenix Valley. To get there, there are two epic trail options: Echo Canyon and Cholla Trail. Both routes lead to the same summit, so you can go up one trail and down the other!

Grand Canyon

Take a day trip to the northern part of Arizona and lay witness to one of the world’s most impressive wonders. You’ll drive through the vast desert and past red rocks, cacti, and pine forests along the way as you approach the canyon and winding Colorado River. There is no other place in the world quite like the Grand Canyon, and it’s easily accessible from Phoenix!

Local wineries

Wine might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Arizona, but the Phoenix area will surprise you! Arizona has two award-winning wine regions just a couple of hours away from Phoenix. You can take a day trip to a vineyard, or simply visit a tasting room in Phoenix instead.

Old Town Scottsdale

With more time, spend a day exploring nearby Scottsdale. The city’s historic district, Old Town Scottsdale, transports you to Wild West America by day and transforms into a nightlife hub by night. Indulge in dishes with the southwestern flavors of Mexican, Native American, and Sonoran desert influences during your visit.
