Incredibly beautiful! The Grand Canyon has nothing on the beauty and history of Canyon de Chelly. This really is a must-see for geology lover, history nuts, and just regular tourists, alike. Fantastic colors, entire civilizations build into the canyon walls, the place is simply amazing.

Travel tip: visit during the fall/winter months. There aren’t as many other tourists and the colors really stand out if there is snow on the ground. Also, The heat is unbelievable in the summer.

Nice, quiet little Route 66 town. Definitely worth stopping in, if you have some time. Also, some of the best Mexican food in the Southwest can be found at a little restaurant called Romo’s there.

Prescott, AZ is an amazing town. It was originally supposed to be the capitol of Arizona, but got snubbed for Phoenix, which was rich with farmland in the early 1900s. The old courthouse in Prescott has been used in a number of films, most notably in the Back to the Future series as the very clock that is used to “jump-start” the time-traveling Delorian. The town, itself, has something for everyone. From Southwestern kitsch to modern art galleries, homemade candies to gourmet restaurants, antiquing to bar crawling, and so much more! It’s a place to get out and do some power-shopping or just find a shady spot on the courthouse lawn to sit and people-watch. It’s a place for families, friends, and fun. It’s beautiful scenery and friendly people. It’s what everybody’s hometown should be!
