Situated in the "Valley of the Sun," in the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix is the Southwest's cultural and economic center. Home to over 1.5 million residents, the bustling city of Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the United States.



Phoenix was first settled by the Hohokam Native Americans who built about 135 miles of water canals to transport Salt River's waters to family & crops.  Phoenix came into its own when the railroad arrived in the 1880s.

The city enjoys approximately 300 days of sun and relatively mild winters.  Attracting many visitors practically all year round with its sunny weather, the city is not just a major metropolitan area but a haven for health and recreation.  Culture, arts, and nature converge in Phoenix. Its unique landscape of desert and mountains is perfect for hiking, backpacking trips and camping.  

Major tourist attractions include museums - most notably the famous Heard Museum dedicated to Native American art and artifacts - a nationally famous zoo, golf courses, and a vibrant art and performance scene.  The Desert Botanical Garden houses cacti and flora from all over the world.  Four professional sports teams also call Phoenix home - baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks, the NBA's Phoenix Suns, football's Arizona Cardinals, and the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL. An array of exciting options await the club-hopping traveler as the city's diverse nightlife scene provides almost every type of nighttime entertainment: dance clubs, comedy clubs, jazz lounges, gay bars and live music venues.  

With so many options to choose from, Phoenix certainly is a modern-day oasis.
