Places to Visit in Arizona

Arizona is more than desert and hard land. Listed are several locations that are must see stops while in your City RV Rental. With cool nights and humid free days Arizona has much to offer besides a great climate.

Kartchner Caverns/Tombstone

Discovered in 1974, Karchner Caverns is a massive underground system of living limestone caves and it contains one the world’s longest stalactite formations. Guided tours of the cavern’s Throne Room and Big Room are available and there is a 23,000 square foot Discovery Center to explore. While you’re in the area, take a side trip to Tombstone. Known as “The Town too Tough to Die” and as the site of the famous Gunfight at the OK Corral, Tombstone is the place where Western legends like Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Johnny Ringo and Ike Clanton walked the streets over 130 years ago.

Saguaro National Park

The iconic giant saguaro is a protected species at this sprawling national park which is divided into two sections — one to the east of Tucson and the other to the west. You’ve probably seen a few saguaros when watching a western, but imagine seeing an entire forest of these magnificent desert dwellers that only thrive in a small portion of the U.S. The park offers hiking and biking trails and scenic drives, and with its backdrop of the Rincon and Tucson mountains, it’s the ideal place to catch a blazing Arizona sunset.

London Bridge

The famous London Bridge, which once spanned the Thames River, was purchased by an American entrepreneur and reconstructed on the Colorado River in Lake Havasu in 1971. When you visit this popular destination, you’ll have plenty of other activities to choose from, including boating, fishing, hiking, watersports and off roading. Or, you could just kick back and relax on one of Lake Havasu’s many beaches as it spans over 110 acres of waterfront property.

Meteor Crater

Somewhere around 50,000 years ago, an asteroid traveling about 26,000 miles per hour collided with the Earth near what is now known as Winslow, Arizona. The site of the impact is now the best preserved meteorite impact site on Earth, measuring nearly a mile across and more than 550 feet deep. It is now an international tourist destination with outdoor observation trails, air conditioned indoor viewing, a wide screen movie theater and Interactive Discovery Center. The Apollo Astronaut Memorial Park near the Visitor’s Center honors the NASA astronauts who trained here during the 1960s for the Apollo missions and contains an Apollo Test Capsule with a viewing window so visitors can marvel at the astronauts’ cramped quarters.
