With its stunning red rock landscapes and its historic towns, Arizona is one of the best states for sightseeing by car. Whether you're interested in history, nature, art, architecture, or anything in between, there are plenty of amazing options to choose from. Spend the day strolling the streets of a historic ghost town, make a foray into an underground cave to marvel at the stalactites, or visit Saguaro National Park to hike amidst the cacti. If you're more in the mood for a day trip from Phoenix, head to Tucson or Sedona.
