Another great place just two hours north of Phoenix is Flagstaff. With its quaint downtown and great eateries, this is a place you won't want to miss.

4. Saguaro National Park in Tuscon
Heading south, you will find one of the many national parks to meet all of your Southwest desires. Surrounded by our world famous Saguaro cactus, you can hike along its 165 miles of trails.
