Arizona Vacations are the Perfect Cold Weather Retreat
from: Pat EngletonOn a vacation in Arizona, you can enjoy the warmth of this
beautiful desert state.
The 48th state and the last one on the mainland to become part
of the Union, Arizona is a place full of history and culture and
the perfect destination for warm weather sporting pursuits.
The towns and cities here are diverse. From the big-city feel of
Phoenix to the tranquility of Sedona, you'll find a variety of
unique places to visit and interesting things to do.
Golfing in Arizona
During the cold, winter months in the Northern and Eastern
United States, thousands of "snowbirds" flock to Arizona for the
fine golf opportunities here. Just about every town boasts a
course or two, with the largest concentration of courses being
in Scottsdale, Tucson, and Phoenix.
There are so many golf courses in the state that you're sure to
find several that fit your level of skill and expertise. Lessons
are offered at most locations and pro shops carry
top-of-the-line clubs and accessories for your use.
If you enjoy watching golf, more than fifty national tournaments
are scheduled somewhere in the state each year, so your Arizona
vacation can certainly include a little spectator time spent
watching the best names in golf.
Sightseeing
One of the most visited attractions in Arizona is, of course,
the Grand Canyon. This majestic site is a must-see for every
American, regardless of age. A visit to the canyon might include
a hike or mule ride into the heart of the canyon, a helicopter
ride over it, a whitewater raft excursion down the Colorado
River, or just some leisure time to enjoy the sights of the
Grand Canyon from the rim.
Throughout the state, you can find amazing American Indian
artifacts and tourist sites. Learn about the history of the
early Apache tribes that settled here, buy some colorful Native
American artifacts, or visit any number of museums that are home
to interpretive and interactive displays about America's
earliest residents.
If you're into New Age spirituality, you'll find a number of
spiritual retreats located in the town of Sedona, as well as
psychics, channelers, and others who delve into the realm of
metaphysics.
Dude Ranches
Want to experience the best of the Wild West? Many Arizona
vacations include a stay at a dude ranch, a real working ranch
where you can join in everyday activities, ride horseback across
the open plains, or join an evening campfire, singing songs and
roasting marshmallows.
Some dude ranches are designed especially for families on
vacation in Arizona while others are meant for grownups only.
Regardless of age, however, you'll have a grand time driving
cattle, feeding the horses, or relaxing on your hammock outside
your Wild West-style cabin.
Water Activities
Though Arizona isn't on the coast, there are more than enough
lakes to keep you busy on the water. Many choose houseboating on
Lake Powell as their water activity of choice. A fun alternative
to a conventional hotel or condo stay, thousands visit the lake
each year for this unique Arizona vacation opportunity.
Lake Havasu is another favorite destination for those that enjoy
active watersports like jet and water skiing, fishing, and
kayaking.
The wild rivers of Arizona offer many opportunities to
participate in whitewater rafting and kayaking, with Class IV
and V rapids guaranteed to excite even the most experienced
whitewater fanatic.
Where to Go
Arizona boasts many exciting destinations so you may have to
choose one or two to enjoy on your Arizona vacation. Investigate
each town and find the activities and sights that most interest
you. If you have two weeks or more for your vacation in Arizona,
rent a car and explore the entire state!
