Arizona Travel Guide: Grand Canyon, Sedona & The Wave

Red rock trails, canyon views, and a permit lottery I won twice: my honest guide to northern Arizona.

From the swirling sandstone of The Wave and Horseshoe Bend to the red rocks of Sedona and the Grand Canyon South Rim, this Arizona travel guide covers the road trips, hikes, and viewpoints worth planning your trip around. It also takes you off the usual route to northeastern Arizona: Chocolate Falls, the cliff dwellings of Canyon de Chelly, and Petrified Forest National Park.
