11 days in Phoenix Itinerary

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. Get a sense of the local culture at Boyce Thompson Arboretum and Desert Caballeros Western Museum. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Apache Trail Scenic Drive and Children’s Museum of Phoenix. Venture out of the city with trips to Lake Pleasant Regional Park (in Morristown), St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastery (in Florence) and Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (in Coolidge). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Superstition Mountain Museum, identify plant and animal life at Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch, see where the action happens at Surprise Stadium, and immerse yourself in nature at Lost Dutchman State Park.
