Phoenix: Gateway to the Sonoran DesertÂ
Phoenix is sunny virtually year-round. Located northeast of the Sonoran Desert, it is the perfect starting point from which to explore the region’s spectacular landscapes, via car, hiking trails or ATV. Art and history lovers will absolutely adore Phoenix’s cultural diversity, a mix of Indigenous American and Spanish influences and the spirit of the Wild West that still prevails all over the city’s downtown.
