Starting your Arizona vacations in the Ghost Town of Lees Ferry will provide you the first sighting of the Grand Canyon. Here it begins with just the first trickles of what will come as you venture further on to Williams and then to the Grand Canyon itself. Perched on the rim of the canyon and looking out over the vast expanse of beauty created by wind and water will have you astonished by the graceful and powerful creation.
Williams also brings the Grand Canyon Deer Farm for you to stop at on your way to the canyon. Here you will be able to observe Reindeer, Axis Deer, Talking birds, Wallabies, Coatmundi, Marmosets, mini cattle, a baby camel and two baby bison. Not only will you be able to look at them but you will be able to feed them from your hands, walk among them and see just how majestic they are in the natural environment. Be ready for them to try to eat your cloths, shoestrings and hats, they think they are entitled so be prepared.
If you believe that Arizona is all desert then you really need to stop at Lake Mead National Recreation Area and see the lake with its 550 miles of shoreline and 255 square miles of lake surface offering you the opportunity to really get out and experience the water. You can go canoeing, kayaking, boating, fishing and waterskiing as well as hike through the area and see all the wildlife in the area.
Yubba Dubba Do! It’s the Flintstones. At least it is a wonderful place to take a break and get up close to them at Bedrock City Flintstone Haven in Valle. You will be able to see Greg and Barney, Wilma and Betty along with Pebbles and Bamm Bamm from the Flintstones cartoons and even slide down the dinosaurs tail just like Fred does! This will add to your fun memories of your Arizona vacation getaway where the entire family can relax, laugh and play for awhile.
For your Flagstaff vacation experience, Visit Flagstaff for the Oldest Hopi Art Show in the World will be an adventure you won’t want to miss. You will be able to discover ancient and modern cultural presentations, performances and activities to give the visitor a greater understanding in the Hopi, Navajo, Zuni and Hispanic cultures that live on the Colorado Plateau and the Four Corners regions of the state. The Hopi villages are situated on mesas in northeastern Arizona.
You have probably seen the meteors that are falling from the solar system all the time but at the Meteor Crater Center in Flagstaff you will actually be able to see one up close.
