In the heart of Arizona, the twin cities of Phoenix and Scottsdale offer a taste of true Western life and some of America's best resort hotels. There's also world-class golfing, large shopping malls, incredible museums, countless hiking trails, incredible museums and more.
Phoenix may be America's fifth largest city, but it still has cowboys, red-rock buttes and the kind of cacti most people see only in cartoons. It is the heart of the Sonoran Desert and the gorgeous scenery certainly sets it apart from other cosmopolitan cities. In addition to its natural beauty, it has big-city offerings too, such as outstanding theatre, shopping, dining and museums.
