8) Arizona
43 million visit Arizona annually. An hour and a half north of Phoenix, transports you to other worldly vistas. Sedona has always had the reputation of being something magical. When you see the majestic red rocks, you’ll know you’ve arrived. If you want to experience the red rocks up close, take a ride on the Pink Jeep Tours. Afterwards, you can whet your whistle at the famous Cowboy Club across the street. That’s the old watering hole of famous movie actors, like John Wayne. While you dig into some of their local fare, you’ll see photos lining the walls depicting the famous actors who made it their local stop after filming. After your stay in Sedona, keep driving north a little over 2 hours where you’ll arrive at Grand Canyon Village in the Grand Canyon National Park. The south rim of the Grand Canyon will surely take your breath away!
