Why Arizona is a must-see destination

Travelling across Arizona awakens your spirit and enriches your soul. It’s a place where red rocks, high vibes, and quirky Route 66 roadside stops are as commonplace as visitors snapping selfies at the Grand Canyon.  

Known as the Grand Canyon State, you’ll, of course, see its colossal namesake. Beyond that, there’s still so much more beauty to discover. Arizona is a place where being present is effortless.  

The red rocks, liberal vibes, and mind-melding vortexes of Sedona impress. As do the sandstone formations at Horseshoe Bend, the majestic cacti at Saguaro National Park, and the Wild West activities at Tombstone.  

Discover Nevada’s other wild side

In the phrase “always a bridesmaid, never a bride”, Las Vegas would be the bride; the rest of Nevada the bridesmaid, figuratively speaking. While the bright lights and attention may be on Vegas, there’s so much beauty surrounding the city that is also worthy of the spotlight. Just like a bridesmaid.  

Sequins sparkle on the Las Vegas Strip and further afield the night sky sparkles overhead. The Silver State is a destination where the wild-hearted roam and the wild things call it home. 

It’s a place where travellers can march to the beat of their own drum. Be it on a spectacular hike or bike ride in one of Nevada’s 27 national and state parks, a road trip along the Loneliest Road in America, or a change of perspective in a ghost town, in front of a colossal work of art, or on a thrilling adventure.
