6 Days Touring the Mother Road: Route 66
Travel America's famous Mother Road, historic Route 66, through classic towns still filled with Americana and more.
Before the Interstate paved the way, Route 66 was the Main Street of America. You'll find plenty of history, nostalgia and the longest original stretch of this road in Arizona—much of it preserved by the locals who lived it.
Grab your bike, load your car, and get your kitsch on Route 66.

While it may not be the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, the
Petrified Forest National Park offers an amazing place to see extinct species. Many of the fossilized logs that dot the floor of the 146-square-mile national park belong to long-extinct trees. Interestingly, the site of the park is not where an actual forest stood, but rather an ancient riverbed where fallen plants accumulated.
Explore Southern Arizona's Sky Islands
Larger-than-life hidden treasures and some of the world’s greatest destinations for biodiversity, sky islands dot Southern Arizona’s landscape.
Sky Islands are a classification of mountain — an unofficial nickname given to 55 mountain ranges across Southern Arizona, Southern New Mexico and Northern Mexico that rise so high, so quickly, that multiple habitats can be found from base to peak. As you climb up Sky Islands, you may go from arid, saguaro-studded desert to a brisk, pine-filled forest in as little as an hour’s drive (in the case of Mount Lemmon, in Tucson). This makes these habitats especially attractive for wildlife, birds and memorable hiking and biking. Sky Islands are also ecologically separated from other mountain ranges by distance and lowlands of a different environment.
Girlfriend GetawaysDiscover Arizona destinations where spa treatments and healthful activities turn reconnecting with friends into an annual tradition.
Cyndi Lauper sang it: Girls just want to have fun. And that's especially true when they're on vacation.
Whatever your idea of a good time with the gals—from kicking back at a spa or taking cooking classes, to rounding up cattle or exploring sandstone canyons—Arizona has a girlfriend getaway for you.
In Wickenburg, Rancho de los Caballeros' Giddy Up Gals package has a full array of ranching activities including trail rides and team penning and a spa to counteract any lingering Eau de equine.
Whether you head to the Grand Canyon State’s north, central or southern region, the hardest part will be picking a handful of courses from the many worthy options. In addition to where to play golf, here are some recommendations on where to stay and some off-course activities.
Cooler summer temperatures and incredible scenery are the hallmarks of this part of the state, and both make for stellar golf conditions. Like at Sedona Golf Resort, located an hour south of Flagstaff. There you will encounter the par-3 10th hole, which offers an unforgettable backdrop of the Red Rocks in the distance. Even more up-close views of those iconic formations can be found at the nearby Oakcreek Country Club, also in Sedona.
How much golf can you squeeze into one weekend?
