RV Lifestyle - 100 Best Things to Do in Arizona 10/20

Arizona is the 48th state in USA, having achieved statehood on February 14th, 1912. The state of Arizona is known for the desert climate, meaning hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona has mountains, and forests, as well as deep canyons and ski resorts. Apart from the Grand Canyon, there are numerous national forests and parks, many of them with monuments to see.

One quarter of the state is Indian reservation land, housing the 27 tribes of Native Americans. The largest tribe is the Navajo Nation, with a citizenship of over 300,000 people.

The population of Arizona boomed after the introduction of refrigeration soon after WWII, and it is now the sixth largest state in area.Many people believe that the name comes from a Basque word meaning ‘place of oaks’, while the Papago Tribe translates it as ‘place of the little spring’. Whichever translation you adopt, the state will amaze you with some of the sights and places of interest to explore.

46. Celebrity Theatre

You will find the theatre in Phoenix. It is 196 feet in diameter and used as a multipurpose centre. The stage is 30 feet in diameter and completely round so everyone in the audience can see the full stage all the time. The stage rotates completely four times at a speed of 0.5 rpm, and none of the seats is more than 70 feet way at any point.

There is an orchestra pit, and many events are held through the year. Notable people who have played at the theatre are Nat King Cole, Tom Jones, Sammy Davis Jr, Diana Ross, David Bowie, to mention a few.

You must book in advance to see any of the shows, so plan to spend a full night there. Perhaps check into a hotel and stay a few days as there is plenty to do in Phoenix.

 

47. Red Rock State Park

You will find the park outside Sedona. It serves as an educational environment for private and public schools, as well as being very popular with hikers.
Be sure to check out the different types of trees along the way. You will find varieties such as Fremont Cottonwood, Arizona Sycamore, Velvet Ash, and Arizona Alder.

49. Lost Dutchman State Park

The park is to be found near the Superstition Mountains, and is named after the ‘Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine’, which is a famous tale of the wild west.

Take plenty of water with you as there is none once you have left the camp site.
