From the world-famous Grand Canyon and the other stunning canyons to the Hoover and Glenn Canyon Dams, Arizona is full of natural wonders and impressive human-made landmarks. As usual in these posts, we invited a few fellow bloggers to share some of their favorite <strong>Arizona landmarks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>From the Navajo Nation to the Deserts and saguaros, there are various things Arizona is famous for. Yet, the <strong>landmarks in Arizona <\/strong>are majestic and contribute significantly to Arizona\u2019s reputation as one of the best outdoor destinations in America. If you love outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>, visiting Arizona will be a bliss.<\/p>\n<p>So, without further ados, let\u2019s unravel some of the most <strong>famous landmarks in Arizona.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Landmarks_in_Arizona\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Landmarks_in_Arizona\"><\/span>Natural Landmarks in Arizona<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grand_Canyon\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grand_Canyon\"><\/span>Grand Canyon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Grand Canyon is the most famous of the landmarks in Arizona. It is easily one of the most famous natural wonders of the USA and the world. As the name suggests, the Grand Canyon is huge, it\u2019s among the largest Canyons in the world, but it\u2019s not only the gigantic size that attracts people, it\u2019s also a stunning location with layers of different colored rocks. Sunsets and sunrises give the Grand Canyon a whole other beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Encompassing 277 miles (446 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands, the Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and a depth of 6,093 feet (or 1,857 meters). Scientists estimate that it took about 5 to 6 million years for the Colorado River (and its tributaries) to expose about two billion years of Earth\u2019s geological history cutting through layers of colored rocks, some of them are recognized among the oldest exposed rocks on earth.<\/p>\n<p>The Grand Canyon is a national park since 1919 and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979. With roughly 6 million visitors every year, it is the second most popular national park in the USA. If the weather allows, the south rim is open year-round, while the north rim is usually open only from May to October.  <\/p>\n<p>The Grand Canyon and its national are so big that we could argue that it\u2019s not only one landmark but several, and that\u2019s why we have included a few specific locations in this Landmarks list, like the Indian garden, Havasu Falls, and the south rim lookouts. They are significant Arizona landmarks on their own.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world\" class=\"wp-image-23713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 1 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world\" class=\"wp-image-23713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Colorado-River-in-Gran-canyon-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 1 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grand_Canyon_South_Rim_lookouts\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grand_Canyon_South_Rim_lookouts\"><\/span>Grand Canyon South Rim lookouts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Shweta Singhal from Zest In A Tote<\/p>\n<p>When planning a trip to the Grand Canyon, one of the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/zestinatote.com\/7-natural-wonders-of-the-world\/\">7 natural wonders in the world<\/a>, we need to consider which part of the canyon you would be visiting. Having visited the Grand Canyon South Rim, I can vouch for the fact that it has some of the most majestic viewpoints.<\/p>\n<p>The Information Centre at Grand Canyon Village is an excellent stop for information on the best viewpoints around the South Rim. Many folks do a day trip to the Grand Canyon, but I would highly recommend that you do an overnight trip at the least to enjoy both the star-studded night and the dawn colors. The break of the dawn and the spectacular sunrise has to be one of my most cherished memories of the trip to Arizona.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yapavai, Hopi and Navajo \/ Desert points are the best viewpoints for watching the sunrise at the Grand Canyon South Rim. We needed a car to drive to Navajo and Desert View Points, as no shuttle goes there. From our hotel, we drove towards Desert View Point towards the East Rim. We then stopped at various points on this road to see the sky change from a fiery red to a paler orange and yellow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Grand Canyon at sunset\" class=\"wp-image-24053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 2 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Grand Canyon at sunset\" class=\"wp-image-24053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Grand-Canyon-Lovely-Sunrise-Arizona-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 2 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Grand Canyon is the most famous landmark in Arizona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saguaro_National_Park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saguaro_National_Park\"><\/span>Saguaro National Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Candice from CS Ginger<\/p>\n<p>Saguaro National Park was established as a national park in October of 1994. However, it was initially preserved as a national monument by President Herbert Hoover in 1933. The saguaro is one of the longest-living cacti, and some of the cacti in the park are 150-175 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The saguaro cactus is only found in a small part of the United States, making this an essential part of the landscape of not only Arizona but the western United States.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the saguaro cacti, the national park is home to more than 1 160 species of plants along with mammals, amphibians, and reptiles.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to see the park is by exploring the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/csginger.com\/saguaro-national-park-arizona\/\">hikes in Saguaro National Park<\/a>. No matter your skill, level there are great trails to hike on. They range from easy paved paths to long, overnight backpacking trips. The Valley View Overlook Trail is a nice 0.8-mile trail that will take you through the desert and saguaro cacti. The Signal Hill Petroglyphs trail is an easy, out and back trail that features some beautiful petroglyphs.<\/p>\n<p>Saguaro National Park is just outside Tucson, Arizona.

The park is located on the Colorado Plateau and lies entirely within the Navajo Indian Reservation. The Navajo Indians administer the Valley as Navajo Tribal Park. It is part of the Four Corners area. From Page, Arizona to Monument Valley is 125 miles, from Four Corners Monument \u2013 105 miles.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its name, the Valley is not a valley but an area where aeolian erosion has created rock formations in the form of rock pinnacles, carpentry, plateaus, mesas, and steep, isolated formations called buttes. The red color of the rocks is due to two types of Wingate sandstone and Navajo sandstone that dominate Monument Valley. These rocks are saturated with large amounts of iron oxides. The rocks are up to 300 m high from base to top, and the ground is at an average elevation of 1 855 m above sea level.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can drive through the park on a 17-mile (27 km) dirt and rough loop road (a 2-4 hour trip). Horseback riding and guided tours are also possible in the park. Park Entry Fee is $20 per vehicle for up to 4 people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"587\" alt=\"Monument valley, a natural monument in Arizona and Utah\" class=\"wp-image-15227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA-768x440.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 7 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA.jpg\" alt=\"Monument valley, a natural monument in Arizona and Utah\" class=\"wp-image-15227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/monument-valley-USA-768x440.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 7 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption>Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tonto_Natural_Bridge\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tonto_Natural_Bridge\"><\/span>Tonto Natural Bridge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Maggie Turansky from The world was here first<\/p>\n<p>One of the most underrated landmarks in Arizona has got to be the incredible Tonto Natural Bridge.

This national park is located about an hour and a half east of Flagstaff, along the famed Route 66. While its landscape may not be as dramatic as its more famous neighbors, like the Grand Canyon, its scenery is nonetheless breathtaking, with desert landscapes stretching onto the horizon, technicolor badlands, and forests of ancient crystalized wood.<\/p>\n<p>One of its unique perks is its compact footprint- while some national parks may take you weeks to fully explore, you can easily see most of the park\u2019s main attractions, with plenty of hikes perfect for beginners and overlooks, in just a short visit.\u00a0For one of the coolest hikes in the park, stop at the Blue Mesa Trail, where you\u2019ll follow a path below the rim of a mesa and between dozens of indigo-hued badlands towering overhead.<\/p>\n<p>If you instead want to get to know the park\u2019s namesake geology a bit better, head to the Crystal Forest Trail, where a stunning supply of petrified wood, all millions of years old, lay scattered across the park\u2019s rolling hills.

This is one of the must-see monuments in Northern Arizona and one of the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sandiegoexplorer.com\/things-to-do-in-flagstaff-arizona\/\">top things to do in Flagstaff<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to explore Walnut Canyon. You can either walk along the Rim Trail, which gives you sweeping vistas over the canyon. The rocks are covered by Ponderosa pine, and the views give you a feel for the vast Colorado Plateau that stretches all the way to the Rocky Mountains.\u00a0<br \/>Even more exciting yet quite strenuous is the Island Trail that leads you down into the canyon. The trail is only a mile long but very steep. It mainly consists of 730 steps that will lead you down into Walnut Canyon and right to the 800+-year-old cave dwellings of the Sinagua tribe. This sight is definitely worth the effort of the hike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Important: Make sure to bring plenty of water, rest, and take your time. Walnut Canyon lies at 7000 feet above sea level, so the air is relatively thin. Also, skip this hike during the summer unless you are used to exercising in scorching conditions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Native American Landmark in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-23989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 10 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Native American Landmark in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-23989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flagstaff-small-web-Arizona-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 10 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption> Walnut Canyon National Monument Arizona, a well-known Native American landmark in Arizona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navajo_National_Monument\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navajo_National_Monument\"><\/span>Navajo National Monument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">James Ian from\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/parkscollecting.com\/\">Parks Collecting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Navajo National Monument is found in the northwestern part of the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona, halfway between Page and Monument Valley.\u00a0 It makes a great stop if you\u2019re traveling between the two.<\/p>\n<p>The national monument is home to three cliff dwellings, Keet Seel, Betatakin, and In<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion house, in the Tesgi Canyon system.

This dwelling is a little smaller (it housed up to 125 people) and not quite as well-preserved, but it is still spectacular.\u00a0Inscription House is not open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to do a long hike, it is possible to take a self-guided walk along the easy 1.3-mile out-and-back Sandal Trail to an overlook with great views of Betatakin 0.25 miles away across the canyon.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of other easy hikes in the area where you don\u2019t see any cliff dwellings, and a Visitor Center and small gift shop, as well as a campground.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Arizona famous landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-23931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 11 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona.jpg\" alt=\"Arizona famous landmarks\" class=\"wp-image-23931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Betatakin-Famous-landmarks-in-Arizona-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 11 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption> Navajo National Monument <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_Garden\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indian_Garden\"><\/span>Indian Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">\u00a0By Jenna from Up and Away Magazine<\/p>\n<p>Visible from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Indian Garden stands out as a strikingly green oasis amongst an otherwise endless sea of red rock. Located approximately 4.5 miles down Bright Angel Trail, the campground brings sweet relief to tired hikers and backpackers with its cool creek, shady trees, and a cluster of picnic tables.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, the name Indian Garden was coined by European-Americans who \u201cdiscovered\u201d the area in the 1800s only to realize indigenous tribes had previously cultivated it. Nearby petroglyphs reveal that humans lived in the region as far back as 13,000 years ago, and remnants of numerous seasonal farming structures (likely built by the Puebloans) were discovered in Indian Garden itself. Today, the campground is managed by the National Park Service and includes a ranger station, emergency phone, toilets, and potable water.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a \u201cmust-do\u201d Grand Canyon day hike, Indian Garden is it. While challenging, hiking to the campground is very attainable if you\u2019re reasonably fit. The Bright Angel Trail is well maintained, and there are several water stations and bathrooms along the way. Start early to avoid having to make the grueling ascent back out of the canyon during the hottest part of the day.

The dwellings have survived for centuries inside a natural alcove that protected them from the harsh elements.<\/p>\n<p>Montezuma Castle is perched some 27 meters up a limestone cliff and possibly built so high to escape annual floods.

Several different easy hiking trails take you along to the various pueblos and offer rewarding views. The most popular pueblo in the monument is the 900-year old Wupatki Pueblo. Visiting the pueblo provides a fascinating insight into life in the 1100s when the pueblos were inhabited.<\/p>\n<p>While you can explore the monument on your own, there are also guided tours of the National Monument offered from October through April. This is a great way to get a more in-depth look at the history of the monument.

But there is something else for which Arizona is known to be something of a mecca: baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix is home to the Cactus League when fifteen Major League Baseball teams come to the area for spring training. Year-round, the resident MLB team is the Arizona Diamondbacks. They play at Chase Field, which is somewhat of a modern marvel \u2013 it\u2019s a baseball stadium with a retractable roof to protect from the stifling sun and desert heat. It also has one of the most unique features in all of the pros \u2013 a swimming pool in the outfield.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine hanging out in the pool and catching a home run ball! The stadium was built in 1998 when the franchise was established as an expansion team.

This beautiful iconic-shaped mountain sites in Scottsdale, making it easily accessible\u00a0and is visible for miles. There are two trails on Camelback Mountain- Cholla Trail on the East Side and Echo Canyon on the West Side. I suggest Echo Canyon-it\u2019s a classic. This short 1.25-mile roundtrip trail takes you climbing giant boulders, and using a metal road to pull yourself up is exhilarating. At the top, you\u2019ll be able to see Downtown Phoenix and the Valley\u2019s surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to the Echo Canyon Trailhead is easy, but parking is limited. I\u2019ve found myself circling the parking lot many times to snatch a spot. If you\u2019re visiting near Scottsdale, I HIGHLY suggest taking an Uber\/Lyft to get there. If you drive yourself, carpool, and come when it isn\u2019t as busy (early morning, late afternoon, etc.). Beware- it can get HOT in Phoenix. I don\u2019t suggest hiking when the temperature is above 90 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t regret adding this famous Arizona Landmark to your next trip to the desert.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Camelback Mountain\" class=\"wp-image-23992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 16 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"Camelback Mountain\" class=\"wp-image-23992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Camelback-Mountain-in-the-Distance-Arizona-Landmarks-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 16 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption> Camelback Mountain, a natural landmark close to Phoenix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heard_Museum\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heard_Museum\"><\/span>Heard Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Kenny from Knycx Journeying<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and nicknamed \u201cthe Valley of Sun\u201d because the city is surrounded by mountains, with desert weather that gives it an annual eighty-five percentage of sunshine.<\/p>\n<p>To get there, the\u00a0Phoenix Sky Harbor is the major travel hub that connects Arizona with the rest of the world.

It\u2019s located right in Page, and the only way to go right into the canyon where all the best photos can be taken is on a tour because the Navajo Nation owns it.<\/p>\n<p>Antelope Canyon is one of the most picturesque natural places in Arizona.

The majority of people will opt to visit Upper Antelope Canyon because it\u2019s the more popularly photographed section. There is also more room on the canyon floor because it\u2019s shaped like an \u201cA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, because Lower Antelope Canyon is lesser-visited, it\u2019s easier to get tickets to tour this part. Lower is opposite of Upper and is shaped like a \u201cV,\u201d so there\u2019s less room on the canyon floor, but a lot more light gets through into the canyon.<\/p>\n<p>Both are absolutely worth visiting if you can. Just make sure you book tickets a few months in advance! However, if you\u2019re on a time crunch, opt to visit Upper Antelope Canyon because it\u2019s a bit more accessible because it is easier to walk through.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"most photographed landmarks in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-24055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 18 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous.jpg\" alt=\"most photographed landmarks in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-24055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Antelope-canyon-Arizona-Famous-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 18 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption> Antelope Canyon, one of the most photographed landmarks in Arizona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horseshoe_Bend_Page\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horseshoe_Bend_Page\"><\/span>Horseshoe Bend, Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Val from VoyageswithVal<\/p>\n<p>Horseshoe Bend is one of the iconic landmarks of Arizona.

There is a $10 fee to enter the lot to help maintain the area. The trail to the overlook is a 0.7 mile, mostly paved walk. It is exposed to the sun, so bring water, but this trail should be accessible for most people. There are a few artificial structures with shade on the way if needed.<\/p>\n<p>The actual viewpoint opens up, and visitors walk along much of the cliff to look down into the deep canyon. Be careful to stay back from the edge, as there are very few railings.<\/p>\n<p>A few things to know before visiting Horseshoe Bend include that the area can get quite crowded. It also does not take long to see the bend unless you stay for a sunrise or sunset photo. The best time to visit is in the morning when the day is still cool, rather than the heat of midday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"famous natural landmarks in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-24004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 19 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"famous natural landmarks in Arizona\" class=\"wp-image-24004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Horseshoe-Bend-Famous-Arizona-Landmarks-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 19 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption> Horseshoe Bend near Page, one of the most famous natural landmarks in Arizona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glen_Canyon_Dam\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Glen_Canyon_Dam\"><\/span>Glen Canyon Dam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">By Milijana Gabri\u0107 from World Travel Connector<\/p>\n<p>Completed in 1966, the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River near the town of Page is one of the most famous landmarks of Arizona.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 710 ft (220 m) high Canyon Dam in Arizona is the second-highest dam in the US, following only Hoover Dam in Nevada. But most importantly, Glen Canyon Dam is one of the most significant structures in the US. The dam creates Lake Powel that is the second-largest water reservoir in the US. The lake provides water supply and electricity to several American states (Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah, California, Arizona, and New Mexico.). Monumental Glen Canyon Dam is popularly known as \u2018The White House\u2019. President Dwight D. Eisenhower pushed a button from the White House to mark the official start of the construction in 1956.<\/p>\n<p>Impressive Glen Canyon Dam is amid rugged desert scenery just outside of the town of Page in northern Arizona.

Until 1948 is was the world\u2019s largest hydroelectric power station and naturally, it is one of the <strong>most famous landmarks in Arizona <\/strong>and Nevada.<\/p>\n<p>Constructed between 1931 and 1936, it is 726 feet high and 1 244 feet long. it was the largest dam in the world when it was built. Today, the Hoover Dam is a huge tourist attraction receiving more than one million visitors per year. The dam\u2019s crest was used to cross the Colorado River until 2010 when the new Hoover dam bridge was opened. This bridge is one of the best viewpoints to the Dam and Lake Mead.<\/p>\n<p>When full, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir by volume in the United States. At full capacity, it is 112 miles long, 532 feet deep, and has roughly 247 square miles of surface area. However, the lake doesn\u2019t reach full capacity since 1983 due to increased water demand and droughts. In June 2021, lake mead was only at 35% capacity, an all-time low record. <\/p>\n<p>Visiting the Hoover Dam is free, but if you want to take a tour or enter the visitor center you\u2019ll need to buy a ticket. If you buy the tour, the visitor center ticket is always included. During the 1-hour tour to the dam, you get to visit the powerplant and passageways within the dam itself. The visitor center is located on the Nevadan side but it features an exhibit gallery and a film about the construction of the dam.<\/p>\n<p>The Hoover dam is more than a famous landmark it is pivotal to the economy of both states providing irrigation water, controlling floods, and producing electricity. One can say it completely changed the two states, presenting a water source to a deserted area. Without the dam and the reservoir, it would be impossible for a city like Las Vegas to exist. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"the most famous modern landmark in Arizona - The hoover dam\" class=\"wp-image-15228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 22 famous landmarks in Arizona\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA.jpg\" alt=\"the most famous modern landmark in Arizona - The hoover dam\" class=\"wp-image-15228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Hoover-Dam-USA-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Famous landmarks in Arizona 22 famous landmarks in Arizona\"><\/noscript><figcaption>The Hoover Dam is the most famous modern landmark in Arizona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_Corners_Monument\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_Corners_Monument\"><\/span>Four Corners Monument<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The four corners monument marks the point where four USA states, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, meet.

Goodrich from The Local Tourist<\/p>\n<p>Midwestern winters can be brutal, and Arizona has long been a popular snowbird destination. One of the state\u2019s most famous seasonal residents was Frank Lloyd Wright. The renowned architect would escape the snow and cold in Scottsdale, where he built Taliesin West, his warm-weather counterpart to his Spring Green, Wisconsin, school and studio.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Scottsdale near the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, this famous Arizona landmark is one of the eight Frank Lloyd Wright sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The complex is unique; one of the architect\u2019s claims to fame was adapting designs based on their environment. Where Taliesin in Wisconsin is definitive prairie style, the Arizona complex is adapted to the desert.<\/p>\n<p>Construction began in 1937, and as was typical of Wright, he and his students continued refining the site until his death in 1959.\u00a0Taking a tour of Taliesin West is one of the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thelocaltourist.com\/things-to-do-in-scottsdale-az\/\">best things to do in Scottsdale<\/a>.
