Lauded for its temperate climate and year-round sunshine, Phoenix has an appeal that extends far beyond the weather. Relaxed and sprawling, this fast-growing city is popular with retirees and tourists alike. It, along with the entire Valley of the Sun, celebrates its Southwestern heritage in museums, galleries, shops, and an amazing variety of regional restaurants. The beauty of the desert landscape also provides an irresistible appeal; resorts and golf courses capitalize on the rugged, otherworldly terrain, attracting thousands of visitors each year. Culture isn't lacking either. From the Heard Museum to the Arizona Science Center, art and exploration coexist happily. There's also shopping at Heritage Square, hot-air balloon rides in the desert, and outdoor concerts throughout the year. Plus, the Grand Canyon and the Red Rock Country of Sedona are only a few hours away. If you're a sports fan, the NBA Suns, MLB Diamondbacks and NFL Cardinals also call this bustling, welcoming city home.
Did you know?
Desert, anyone? While hiking in the desert, it's important to know that you and your comrades aren't alone. Sixteen species of rattlesnakes, twenty species of scorpions, and the Gila Monster all live there. No need to panic, though - they're likely to stay out of your way during your hike, and they avoid populated areas. The most brutal enemy is the sun, so remember to put on sunscreen - you can burn in less than twenty minutes while you're admiring the gorgeous desert scenery.
