Must-See Spots in Arizona

The Grand Canyon is a must visit destination during your vacation in Arizona. Drawing people in with its dramatic scenery and a wide range of activities, this natural wonder is Arizona’s most-visited landmark.

What is there to do at the Grand Canyon?

Apart from the obvious sightseeing opportunities, there is much to do at the Grand Canyon including hiking, mule rides, helicopter tours and rafting on the Colorado River.

The South Rim of the national park is very popular due to its easy access and the multiple amenities in the Grand Canyon Village. Check out the amazing viewing points here and catch the free shuttle to explore other lookouts and hiking trails. On the west side of the canyon is the Skywalk, a glass walkway that sits 4,000 feet above the canyon floor.

There are a wide range of hikes that you can take on, all ranging in difficulty and length. For a short hike with a great view, try the South Kaibab Trail to Ooh-Aah Point or take the free shuttle to Hermit's Rest Road and walk along the Rim Trail that leads to multiple breath-taking views.

If you are up for a more challenging hike, take the Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point and reward yourself with a breathtaking view of the Colorado River.

How do I get there?

The Grand Canyon is just over an hour north of Flagstaff and four hours from Phoenix. You can also take a shuttle from Flagstaff or Phoenix Airport directly to the Canyon.

One of the most iconic buildings in Arizona, the Mission San Xavier, has had a long history that begins long before Arizona became a part of the United States. In 1692, a missionary named Eusebio Francisco Kino established the Mission San Xavier on the Tohono O’odham tribal land. The European-style church that we see today was built between 1783 and 1797 and is known as the “White Dove of the Desert”.

What is there to do at Mission San Xavier del Bac?

Visitors are invited to tour the church or sit in on weekly Mass. You can also check out the church’s museum that features a 20-minute video telling visitors about the history of the Mission as well as artifacts that allow you to understand the way people lived in the Wild West. You can also see the well-preserved Catholic paintings and sculptures that show the huge influence that the Spanish had in the early 1700s.

Don’t forget to check out some of the food stands outside the Mission San Xavier del Bac. Trying the fried bread with honey is a must-do for any visitor!

How do I get there?

The Mission is 9 miles south of downtown Tucson and reachable by public transportation in just over an hour.
