9 days in Phoenix Itinerary

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. You've added Balloon Rides, Herberger Theater Center, Phoenix Zoo, and other attractions to your itinerary. Head to Zelma Basha Salmeri Gallery and Elan Wollitzer Galleryfor some retail therapy. Take a break from the city and head to Fort Verde State Historic Park and Thumb Butte Trail 33. Get out of town with these interesting Phoenix side-trips: Granite 19 Hotshots Memorial (in Yarnell), Desert Caballeros Western Museum (in Wickenburg) and Lake Pleasant Regional Park (in Morristown). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting, take a stroll around Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, get all the equipment you need at Buddy Stubbs Harley-Davidson, and identify plant and animal life at Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch.
