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, quirky, art-filled Jerome and some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the West.

There’s a gigantic hole in the Earth! Its here in Arizona at Meteor Crater off I-40 in Northern AZ, between Flagstaff and Winslow, at exit 233. This is the worlds best preserved Meteorite impact site. Guided rims tours, incredible
look-out points, Discovery Center & Space Museum, Collision! 4D Theater, Impact! The mystery of the Meteor Crater, a Gift & Mineral store and delightful RV Park next door.

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. Another great train ride is the Verde Canyon Railroad that leaves from Clarkdale, near Cottonwood, taking you on an unforgettable tour of the Verde Valley, as the early miners must have seen it.

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