Best national parks in Arizona

Arizona is the Grand Canyon State, and the South Rim, open all year, is where most visits happen: Mather Point, the Desert View drive, the rim shuttle and the first mile or two of the Bright Angel or South Kaibab trails. It is four and a half hours from Las Vegas and under four from Phoenix, with Flagstaff, Williams and its historic railway closer. The North Rim, higher and cooler, opens from mid-May to mid-October. Grand Canyon West and its glass Skywalk are on Hualapai land, outside the national park.

Saguaro flanks Tucson in two districts of giant cactus forest, best at sunset and in the bloom of late spring. Petrified Forest, beside Interstate 40, combines fallen logs turned to quartz with the badlands of the Painted Desert, and is a drive-through park that closes its gates at night.
