Are you looking to visit a few less-traveled places in Arizona? A road trip is a great way to combine a few quick stops with those that may require a day or half a day to experience fully. Using Route 66 to guide part of our route, we saw some American pop culture and impressive national parks.

Arizona is an ideal travel destination for hikers and nature lovers. It’s also a great place for deep-sky enthusiasts. Our top pics include the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Sedona, Camelback Mountain, the Flagstaff area, and more.
