iconic landscape -monument valley
the most stunning and iconic scenery. this place was unique and gorgeous there were so many different rock formations that you can’t imagine this is such an incredible valley. i took a goulding’s tour with a very friendly navajo guide on a open jeep, beware that the road will be bumpy and so much of orange-red dust but it was still a very good experienced and worth to make a trip to monument valley. #monumentvalley #arizona #usa #landscapephotography

KARTCHNER CAVERNS: A PHENOMENAL DISCOVERY!
#2023travelwish
It is Kartchner Caverns State Park south of Benson and West of San Pedro River in Arizona, USA. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to bring camera and cellphone during the tour because we need to protect the living environment. I took the 1 hour and 3/4 tour inside the cavern. Everything is in my memory as I witnessed the world's longest stalactites discovered by Gary Tenen and Randy Tufts in 1974. Everything was mind blowing! It is a must to see once in your lifetime. Trip.com can fly you to Phoenix, AZ. My wish is to visit the Salt Cathedral in Colombia.#mytripvlog#tripblazers#celebratewithtrip#spooktaculartrip#fallingforfall#mountainview#nationalpark#state park

Arizona ":
The Grand Canyon State, is a unique place to raise a family. The weather in AZ is nice that one could wear shorts all year around. In fact, I do.
This is because I live in the AZ warm weather area. Arizona has many, many diverse areas that has different environmental properties. The northern part of Arizona, right around the Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon, gets rain and is considerably more cooler than the southern region of the state. On the west side of the state is the lower deserts and on the river, it’s warm. Yuma, Lake Havasu City, and Parker all are hotter than Phoenix and Tucson (found in the upper desert).
This diverse climate landscape also brings with it diversity of activities. There are several ski resorts in Northern Arizona,

A nice desert state. Well there, I got some nice fruit! One is called a coyote melon, and the other I’m not sure. Then we saw a jackrabbit outside of the place we were staying. I liked to see him. He was a cutie. There is so much to do, like the Grand Canyon or go to Phenoix. Come to see for your own self how great a place this is.

This is the road that begins right in Hoover Dam towards Arizona and the grand canyon. The pictures are few kilometres away from the sign 'welcome to Arizona'. This is the only pictures I have from the state of #arizona because I explored the landscape and non specific attraction.

Upper Antelope Canyon [Arizona, USA]
💰Average Cost: USD 80
💞Recommended Reason: The natural scenery in the park varies depending on the weather of the day, making it an adventurous and surprising place full of energy.
🗓️Itinerary:
Book your entrance ticket in advance, which costs around USD 100 online. Check in at the counter early in the morning.

If you have baby supplies, you can inquire in advance, and generally, permission will be granted.
Take a small vehicle into the park, only the allowed areas are open. The wind and sand are strong while riding the small vehicle, so it's best to bring a windbreaker to block the wind and sand or for sun protection.

The naturally formed scenery is unforgettable.
The best time to enter the park is from noon to afternoon when the lighting is better.

Resting Point on Freeway I5
#fallishere
I5 freeway which stand for interstate number 5 is a major highway between the states of Arizona and California
I’m impressed by this particular rest area . This is by far the cleanest rest area I have ever stopped at in the middle of the desert of all places! It is spotless! And I mean that!
There is no garbage it seems that everyone actually uses the garbage and the state empties them on a regular basis! The bathroom facilities are so clean. There is no sign of dirt or vandalism. Also the baby changing table is like new! The grounds are also well kept and are pretty peaceful. The information wickets are also full of legitimate info. I can’t say enough great things about this rest area
