Tucson
The city of
Tucson is
2,389 feet above sea level and covers nearly 500 square miles. The
landscape mixes flowering desert, rolling hills, winding dry riverbeds, rugged canyons,
and pine-topped peaks-all beneath an expansive clear, blue sky. Scenery on the 60-minute
drive from downtown Tucson to the top of nearby Mt. Lemmon is much like what you'd see on
a trip from Mexico to Canada.
At the north end of the Sonoran Desert, Tucson holds bragging rights to more sunshine
than any other American city - about 350 days each year. Culinary renaissance is perhaps most
apparent in the Southwest, where the food, like the Old West itself, reflects a healthy
combination of cultures.
Arizona's unique landscapes and warm climate provide the perfect setting for some of the
country's best golf. Tucson is consistently rated one of the best golfing destinations
in the Southwest.
Sedona
There's no place on earth quite like the Grand Canyon State. It's not just the landscapes,
which take in tall mountain ranges, swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes, and cactus forests.
It's not just our storied past, which reaches back thousands of years. It's not just our
people, a vibrant blend of cultures and traditions. It's all these things, and the way
they come together, that make a visit to Arizona a truly unforgettable experience.
Sedona, and the
immediate environs is a special and unique place. With the awe-inspiring
red rock formations plus the splendor and diversity of Oak Creek Canyon, it is considered
a locality equal or superior to many national parks.
Located in the high southwestern desert under the rim of the Colorado Plateau at an
elevation of 4,500 feet, it is blessed with four mild seasons, plenty of sunshine and
clean air.
Sedona has something for everyone - world class resorts to small family-run motels,
fine restaurants, outstanding shops and diverse art galleries. The beauty and climate
of the area makes sightseeing and hiking, golf, tennis, horseback riding, and Jeep
touring year-round activities.
Phoenix - Scottsdale
Ringed by rugged mountains and the picturesque Sonoran Desert, the Valley of
the Sun, which contains
Phoenix
and Scottsdale,
Arizona, ranks among the world's
truly elite golf destinations. The Valley is home to more exceptional golf courses
and beautiful resorts than perhaps any other community of its size in the country.
And, with its wide variety of cultural and recreational attractions, it is an
outstanding sight for both vacation and business travel.
