Arizona is one of the American Southwest's most scenic states, known for its stunning red rock butte formations and expansive desert landscape. Visitors can explore the state's scenic terrain as part of several designated All-American Road drives, including the lovely Red Rock Byway and preserved portions of iconic American Route 66. In lively metropolis Phoenix, many museums offer free admission daily or as part of special events such as the monthly First Friday Art Walks gallery crawl series. Sedona is home to gorgeous attractions like the Church of the Holy Cross, said to be the site of a New Age energy vortex, while Tempe offers delightful free-admission museums and attractions connected to the Arizona State University campus.
