Yes! Everyone should already have Arizona on their travel bucket lists because of the gorgeous Grand Canyon. But this trip idea doesn’t focus on what some call a beautiful barren emptiness.
The once stifled desert cities of Arizona are said to be quickly becoming buzzing centers of “urban cool.” Tucson today features new boutique hotels, hip shops, third-wave coffee shops, and multiple microbreweries. Be sure to check out the new Bike Ranch too! It is a popular “sustainable mountain-biking resort” located not far from striking Saguaro National Park.
All Aboard! The Canadian rail-tour company known as Rocky Mountaineer is offering luxurious scenic train trips on four different rail routes not only in Canada but now also in Utah and Colorado. Previous passengers prefer the rockin’ “Rockies to the Red Rocks” route.
You climb aboard in Denver, Colorado backdropped by snow-capped peaks, and ride right on to the climactic canyonlands of Moab, Utah’s adventure capital. Of course, this luxury train ride is reportedly just as much about the trip as it is the actual destination. Stops include seeing hip street art and craft breweries in Denver.
