When you are thinking about an Arizona vacation you are more than likely thinking about the Grand Canyon. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and one of the greatest assets in the Natural World. The Canyon floor runs 277 miles with beauty that you will be in awe of while you are there. Not only is there the Grand Canyon to see in Arizona but a number of other options in Northeastern Arizona await your visit too.
With lots of other things to see in Arizona you will want to visit the city of Flagstaff and see the beautiful mountains surrounding it. There you can enjoy shopping, music and wonderful dining as well as visit the Meteor Crater Center where you will see displays of the never-ending process of impacts and collisions in our solar system by the Meteors. If you are there at the right time of year you will be able to see the Oldest Hopi Art Show. Of course there is also the Painted Forest in the area which shows the beauty created in petrified wood by nature.
The begin your day headed for the Grand Canyon where you will drive north of Flagstaff on Hwy 89 toward Hwy 64. The reason for going this route is that it takes you to the less crowded East entrance of the park. You won't have to fight so many people to find parking and begin your adventure at the Canyon. When you arrive at the Canyon take the leisurely drive on Desert View Drive. This is the longest stretch of road open to the public along the South Rim of the Canyon.
