Things To Do

Grand Canyon National Park

Sedona

This is one of the most scenic areas of Arizona! There are countless adventures and unique things to do in Sedona: vortex hikes, Pink Jeep tours, trips to the Grand Canyon, hot air balloon rides, shopping, art galleries, and more.

Jerome

Jerome is known as the wickedest city in the west! The town was founded in 1876 as a huge mining community. When the mine closed in 1953 the towns population went from over 15-thousand people to roughly 46 overnight, making Jerome the largest ghost town in America. Take a ghost tour, eat at The Huanted Hamburger, and visit the local shops. This is a great day trip.
