Visit Icons in Northern Arizona

Arizona’s northern high desert covers almost a third of our state and is home to such American icons as the Grand Canyon, Historic Route 66, the red rocks of Sedona, and the Eagles’ famous corner in Winslow. Perhaps not as well known is Prescott — with its charming old-time vibe — the original territorial capitol of Arizona. In addition to towns like the quirky, art-filled Jerome and Cottonwood which is the heart of Verde Valley Wine Country, you will see some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the West.

Located just south of the Grand Canyon National Park South Rim is the RV-friendly town of Tusayan. Whether you are on a family vacation or hiking adventure trip, Tusayan has a variety of restaurants, gifts shops, and tours for a real wild West experience.

The world’s best preserved Meteorite impact site is here in Arizona at Meteor Crater off I-40 between Flagstaff and Winslow, at exit 233.

The high season here is summer, when high altitude provides cool temperatures and plenty of reasons to go outdoors. Williams, west of Flagstaff, is a fun little town that is the starting point for the Grand Canyon Railway.

Northeast of the Grand Canyon, the city of Page is a scenic outpost that serves as the gateway to Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, The Wave, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend.

Navajo and Hopi tribes share the land to the northeast, surrounding the wild, majestic Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley.
