Arizona

The past week has been an exciting travel week: I’ve been road tripping around Southern Arizona, hiking in National Parks and delving into the Old West!

We have compiled a list of our favorite places in Tucson – what to see, where to eat, where to sleep and some ideas for trips out of town.

During our road trip through Northern Arizona our path crossed the famous ‘Mother Road’, Route 66, several times. On our last day we decided to drive the section of Route 66 from Seligman to Kingman, one of the few in-tact segments of the highway which originally stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles. On the way we found numerous original gas stations, motels, road side shops with classic 50s & 60s cars out front and other Route 66 memorabilia which awakens the nostalgia of the Great American Road Trip from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast.

I’ve visited the Southwest five times over the past few years, but it took me until my 6th visit this year to finally visit a ranch, a real working dude …

When we visited the Saguaro National Park we came across these handsome horses that were taking their owners on a ride around this stunning scenery of Saguaros.
