Background
As you fly into Phoenix you'll see a sprawl of twinkling lights surrounded
by spectacular desert scenery and towering mountain ranges. A haven in the Arizona
desert, Phoenix is home to some of America's best spas. The city
centre is modern and cosmopolitan with numerous art galleries and museums as
well as manicured gardens and golf courses. As you head out of the city, the
wilderness of the desert takes over. If you like hiking you'll love the
trails of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Explore the 46-mile Apache Trail or just
watch the sun set over the 'Valley of the Sun' from South Mountain
Park.
First-time visit
Stroll around the grounds of the exotic Papago Park and its beautiful Desert
