Just a few hours to the north is Sedona which is surrounded by red-rock buttes, steep canyon walls and pine forests. Uptown Sedona is dense with New Age shops, spas and art galleries. The Grand Canyon in Arizona is a natural formation distinguished by layered bands of red rock, revealing millions of years of geological history in cross-section. The canyon averages 10 miles across and a mile deep along its 277-mile length.
Much of this area is national park, with Colorado River white-water rapids and sweeping vistas.

To the south is Tucson, Arizona's second-largest city and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy and year-round outdoor playground. Enjoy the history and see how the city today unifies Hispanic, Native American and Anglo cultures.
