Starting your vacation in Arizona in the Ghost Town of Lees Ferry will give you the first panorama of the Grand Canyon. This is where it begins with just the first signs of what will come as you travel further on to Williams and then to the Grand Canyon itself. Standing on the rim of the canyon and looking out over the vast expanse of beauty created by wind and water will have you amazed 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. At the Farm 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 prepared for them to try to eat your cloths, shoestrings and hats, they think they are entitled so be prepared.

If you think 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 chance to really get out and enjoy 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.

Yabba Dabba Do! It’s the Flintstones. At least it is a wonderful opportunity to take a break and get up close to them at Bedrock City Flintstone Haven in Valle. You will want 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 where the whole 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 experience 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 insight 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 located on mesas in northeastern Arizona.

You have probably read about 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. Take the tour and see the crater that is there from just such a collision. The crater is over 4,000 ft. across and 550 ft. deep, the observation telescopes allow for a close up look at the many points of interest contained in the crater.
