5 days in Phoenix Itinerary

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. Attractions like Piestewa Peak and Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch make great kid-friendly stops. Get outdoors at KOLI Equestrian Center and Lost Dog Wash Trail. Get out of town with these interesting Phoenix side-trips: Shamrock Farms (in Stanfield), Right On Target Clay Guides of AZ (in Gilbert) and Hieroglyphic Canyon Trail (in Gold Canyon). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Phoenix Police Museum, look for all kinds of wild species at Lookout Mountain Preserve, stroll through Sunrise Peak Trail, and walk around Papago Park.
