 Alert | | I figured that the leisure/entertainment foler would be the best place to put this. Arizona is such a beautiful state with such a variety of scenery, I figured I'd ask people: what are some of your favorite places to travel in the state--or even out of the state, if it's driveable? | | | |

Alert | | My wife and I recently went down to the 'Mountain Kingdom'--Patagonia, Elgin, etc. southwest of Tucson. It's a really nice area, with its own unique look/feel. It's at a higher elevation with hills/mountains and very green (or it was when we went)--so considerably cooler than here. I hadn't known there was 'wine country' out here, but apparently out there the soil temperature is the same as in Napa, and they're getting some acclaim from the wines. The ones at the winery we visited were very good. We also went to Patagonia lake, which was very pretty. | | | |

I haven't been to Greer yet, have been to other parts of the white mountains/up above the rim (Heber/Overgaard, Pinetop, Lakeside, skiing at Sunrise). It's really a beautiful area, and really looks so different from so much of Arizona. This state really has a lot of beauty and diversity in terms of the scenery/different climate zones.

I haven't been to the Desert Museum yet--although I think I drove around there once and it was a really nice area. Speaking of which, ever been to Mount Lemmon, also in the Tucson area? It's a beautiful ride with stunning scenery and overlooks. You start out in the desert and end up in alpine forest, at about 9,00 feet--pretty soon because you're climbing pretty quickly.
Sedona is beautiful. The last time we were there we went to Slide Rock Park, which was great--refreshing in the middle of the summer.
Where is Strawberry? I've heard the name but never been there. | | | |
