The American Southwest is one of the most awe-inspiring regions of the United States. You will not find nature and views like this easily outside of Arizona. The Phoenix area is a hot spot close to several Arizona parks and landmarks. Watch the sun rise or set over a beautiful Phoenix horizon surrounded by its unique nature, or do it from the comfort of your vacation home with Five Star Property. Read more about Arizona’s gorgeous nature, parks, and landmarks.
Papago Park
Papago Park is easy to get to from the airport or your vacation rental. It’s close to the city, and that doesn’t mean the city will get in the way of some amazing sights. Be sure to hike the Hole-in-the-Rock Trail. The park is also near the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. For history buffs, you’ll learn about how the area was previously a “reservation for indigenous tribes, a fish hatchery during the Great Depression, a POW camp during World War II, and a VA hospital,” according to Visit Phoenix.
South Mountain Park
This vast park covers more than 16,000 acres near Phoenix and is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States. One way to get to know the area is by visiting the South Mountain Environmental Education Center. Attend a “Silent Sunday” gathering to snap some phenomenal photos. This is when the park’s main road is closed to traffic for several hours.
Phoenix Mountain Preserve
Those who are into rock climbing or gazing upward at fascinating rock formations must visit the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. It’s one of the best ways to see Piestewa Peak, Camelback Mountain, North Mountain, Shadow Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Shaw Butte. Camelback Mountain is the preserve’s highest peak at more than 1,400 feet. Once you summit the peak, you will have an outstanding panoramic view of the city and desert.
