Camelback Mountain
Camelback Mountain is a popular hiking spot. Whether you go up Echo Canyon or Cholla Trail, you’ll get great views of the city and desert. It’s a bit of a workout, but totally worth it when you reach the top. Bring water, good shoes, and your camera!

The Grand Canyon is a 3.5 hour drive north of the Phoenix area. It has stunning views of sunrises, sunsets, and beautiful overlooks like Mather Point and Hopi Point. You can hike into the canyon, ride the free shuttle to scenic spots, or check out museums and visitor centers.
