NORTHERN ARIZONA
Northern Arizona’s diversometer goes to eleven. It’s as if this part of the state looked “diverse” up in the dictionary and decided to take it way past the traditional superlatives. Obviously, the Grand Canyon is here. So are 63 of the largest flying land birds in North America, the endangered California Condor. And the observatory from which Pluto was discovered. And the oldest continuously inhabited villages on the continent. And the world’s first proven and best-preserved meteorite impact crater. Did you know Lake Powell – which, yup, is also here in northern Arizona – has more miles of shoreline than the combined Pacific Coast states? Who’s with us in petitioning Webster’s to make “uber-diversiest” a word?

GRAND CANYON
You’d think it’d be hard to come up with something new to write about one of the planet’s most (justifiably) written-about places. But of course, when it’s the Grand Canyon, nearly two billion years in the making and the only one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World in the United States, it’s not. What is difficult, however, is using words to do this 277-mile long chasm that Mother Nature has made at least twice as deep as man has made any structure tall, justice. Because really, how can you describe standing at, say Skeleton Point, three-some miles down the South Kaibab Trail, gawping out and up at the craggy, nosigns- of-civilization-here North Rim and down at the outburst of green fertility along the banks of the Colorado? Even if you snap some National Geographic-worthy photos and are able to temporarily channel Longfellow’s poeticism when recounting the episode to friends you’ll only be part-way there.
           

There are numerous spots along both rims from which to gape at the grandiosity – at the South Rim we recommend the Yavapai Observation Station and, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, the El Tovar dining room; on the more isolated, only-open-in-summer North Rim, go for the Cape Royal Scenic Drive.
           

Even better is to become part of the scenery by descending into the canyon. It’s  really a shame fewer than one percent of the five million annual visitors do it. (More people actually arrive at the South Rim via train, the Grand Canyon Railwaydeparts daily from Williams, 65 miles south, than set foot on the banks of the Colorado.)
           

From the top of the Canyon, there are two ways to get down: hiking or on the back of a highly-trained, Velcro-footed mule as part of a pack guided by a professional muleteer. President Teddy Roosevelt opted for the latter. During summer high season, mules take up to 40 intrepid explorers per day down the 4,000-some feet to the floor of the Canyon, where a night at Phantom Ranch, the only non-camping lodging beneath the Canyon’s rims, usually awaits. A third way to see the bottom bypasses both the North and South Rims… by sending you right down the rapids of the Colorado in a wooden boat or rubber raft. Outfitter-led trips last from one day to three weeks.
           

If you’re looking for more of a California Condor-type view – this, along with the Vermillion Cliffs to the north are where these giant birds live – you’ve got more options: small planes and helicopter tours, hot air balloon rides, and scenic drives. For overnight stays, meeting planners may choose from several hotels within the park, or opt to stay in Tusayan, just a few miles south of the Canyon. Tusayan offers a wide variety of guest rooms and meeting venues, including the Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Innwhich also offers the most meeting space.

FLAGSTAFF
After communing with nature, you’ll appreciate Flagstaff’s smart, small-town sophistication and hip history. But fear not, if it’s still nature you want, Flag’s got that too… the oft-snow-capped San Francisco Peaks just outside town are the highest mountains in the state.
           

Situated in the world’s largest ponderosa pine forest, yet readily accessible by air and interstate, Flagstaff is a spectacular location for meetings, events and incentive groups. With a wide variety of dining and nightlife and conveniently located near attractions like Grand Canyon National Park, Flagstaff is the perfect home base from which to explore northern Arizona.
           

It’s a toss up whether Flagstaff is best known for being the home of Northern Arizona University, the Lowell Observatory, and the Museum of Northern Arizona; a former hot spot along Route 66 and a current mountain biking Mecca; or for having more hometown microbreweries per capita than any other town of 60,000 (Beaver Street  Brewery, Mogollon Brewing Company and Flagstaff Brewing Company). After a few hours here, you won’t really care what the biggest claim to fame is. You’ll like the town for its schizophrenia.
           

This area was popular long before Flagstaff was around though. Early settlers arrived 15,000 years ago. No ruins survive from these particular pioneers, but, as is the case elsewhere in the state, Sinagua structures dating back about a millennium still stand as monuments to their construction skills, and windows into the past, of course.
           

Some of Flagstaff’s galleries evolved from native origins into trading posts turned shops, and browsers are often surprised by the variety of jewelry, rugs, baskets and pottery available in Flagstaff. Hopi potters and Navajo weavers, carvers and silversmiths have been trading their fine arts here for many generations.
           

At Wupatki National Monument, the Sinagua (a name derived from the Spanish for “without water”) were particularly prolific with their building. Wupatki Pueblo itself is the biggest of the ruins within the monument – 100 rooms stretching up three stories and flanked by a bit of an early-American entertainment complex: an area believed to have been a ball court and another thought to be an amphitheater or dance plaza. Other ruins inside the park and easily reached by car include Nalakihu, Citadel, Lomaki, and the imaginatively positioned, atop a giant sandstone outcrop, Wukoki.
           

Had your fill of history? Head for the hills. We recommend Mars Hill or Humphreys Peak (alternately called Mt. Humphreys). The former is the home of the Lowell Observatory and where astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. The latter is near Arizona Snowbowl, the state’s second-busiest ski resort, and is the tallest peak in the state at 12,634 feet. A four-and-a-halfmile hiking trail wends it way to the summit from the Snowbowl parking lot. Savor the last mile of this ramble as it traverses the only region of alpine tundra in the state. Not so much into a hardcore hike? Snowbowl has a lift open year-round that’ll get you well up Mt. Agassiz, one of Humphreys’ neighbors.
           

Over at Mars Hill, named in honor of the years observatory founder Percival Lowell spent studying that planet, Lowell Observatory does offer daytime tours, but – it’s much cooler to look through its 24-inch telescope at night. Experience a different kind of cool on Route 66. The “Mother Road” has long-since been replaced by Interstate 40, but it remains one of Flagstaff’s main drags and a great way to step back in time. Interstate 40 converges with Interstate 17 at Flagstaff - Phoenix is a scenic two-hour drive south on Interstate 17. US irways offers daily flights to and from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Flagstaff. And, the historic downtown train station in the heart of Flagstaff is an active Amtrak facility with twice-daily arrivals.
           

This university town offers meeting planners a full range of options with all the amenities typical of more metropolitan settings. Flagstaff’s lodging facilities include approximately 5,000 guest rooms and many of the hotels offer a variety of meeting and conference space. The new High Country Conference Center and Hotel Complex at NAU has 42,000 sq. ft. with a ballroom large enough to accommodate a banquet for 800 people, as well as additional conference rooms for break out sessions, a board room, and five additional meeting rooms at the Drury Hotel located on the campus.
           

Little America Hotelis nestled in the pines on 500 acres and features 248 guest rooms and 10,000 sq. ft. of well equipped meeting space and the Radisson Woodlands Hotel features 183 rooms including 15 two-room suites and more than 6,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space. Flagstaff offers a meeting planner a perfect blend of culture, history, and scenic beauty combined with ease, convenience and experienced service.

FOUR CORNERS COUNTRY – NAVAJO NATION, PAGE & LAKE POWELL
Four states might come together in the most northeastern part of Arizona, but the true stars of this area are a fifth and sixth entity: 5) the Navajo Nation and 6) Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
           

The largest reservation in the country both in population, about 200,000 Navajo, and area, 26,000 square miles – the Navajo Nation includes modern cities, far-removed villages, natural wonders, and historic treasures. Also contained within its considerable borders, yet independent, is Hopiland, home to Hopi Indians for over 1,500 years. Today about 7,000 Hopi live in Hopiland, some of them in the two oldest known continuously inhabited villages on the continent, Walpi and Old Oraibi.
           

Within the Navajo Nation, Monument Valley is best known from its role in western movies and television. The towering, iron oxidized sandstone forms here seem to have fallen here from an alien world. And now, with the opening of the VIEW Hotel and Spa, the first non-camping lodging inside the valley, you can spend a luxurious night in their shadows, complete with a private balcony that looks out on some of the most Martian of the towers, buttes, pinnacles, and spires. If that’s not enough – and it most likely won’t be – drive the park’s 17-mile self-guided tour. If you want to hike or drive elsewhere in the park, you are required to hire a guide.
           

To Monument Valley’s west, the 1.2 million acre Glen Canyon National Recreation Area doesn’t require a guide. Considering that Lake Powell, the ebbing and flowing heart of this area, is the second-largest man-made lake in the country (Lake Mead is bigger) and has nearly 100 side canyons flowing into it, a good map is a great idea though.  The most popular activities on Lake Powell are houseboating, jet skiing, swimming, fishing, and kayaking and canoeing, although there is also scuba diving and snorkeling. (Wahweap and Antelope Point Marinasrent a variety of watercrafts.) Camping is allowed anywhere – isolated side canyons are prime spots – and although there are no designated hiking trails along the lake, it is possible to walk most of the shoreline.
           

Lake Powell is definitely best explored by boat however. One of its main attractions, Rainbow Bridge, a natural bridge tall and wide enough for the U.S. Capitol Dome to sit beneath it, is either a hours-long hike or a comfortable two-hour boat ride. For those who prefer looking at the lake rather than being on it, there’s 18 holes at Lake Powell National, outfitters in Page that rent mountain bikes you can take onto the NRA’s backcountry roads, and official tours of the dam that impressively controls all Lake Powell’s water, the 710-foot tall Glen Canyon Dam.

THE OTHER CANYONS
There’s a reason you can only visit Antelope Canyon outside Page with a guide: you’ll need someone to snap your photo around every new bend in this unlikely bi-level maze of sandstone slot canyons. To the east, almost at the border with New Mexico, Canyon de Chelly National Monument’s Anasazi ruins and mercilessly soaring rock walls see only a fraction of the visitors the Grand Canyon does. Check out the White House Ruin trail on your own, or hire a guide to take you deeper into the monument, perhaps to Mummy Cave, in Canyon del Muerto.

SHOPPING
Chances are you’ve seen Navajo weavings and Native American jewelry even if you’ve never yet set foot in the Navajo Nation. Both are popular and collected around the world. While it is possible to buy rugs and jewelry directly from artists in villages, for the best selection, as well as a bit of an education, head for any one of half-a-dozen reputable, and historic, trading posts within the Navajo Nation. In Ganado, the Hubbell Trading Post is the oldest operating trading post on the reservation, and offers almost as many demonstrations by various Native American artists as it does rugs. Owned and operated by the Navajo Nation, the Navajo Arts and Crafts Enterprise is headquartered in the Nation’s capital, Window Rock, with branches in Chinle, Cameron, and Kayenta.

NORTH CENTRAL ARIZONA
North Central Arizona is America the Beautiful made better: there are mountain majesties – albeit more red than purple – and fruited plains … and also archeological sites, rodeos, cowboy and Native American history, spas, golf, shopping, stylish towns, and art. And best yet? Perched between desert (to the south) and the soaring San Francisco Peaks (to the north), the area also has pretty much perfect weather. All year long.
           

Spend the morning hiking before whiling away the afternoon at a winery, but make sure not to linger too long lest you not have enough time check out 1,000-year-old ruins before your scheduled sunset hot air balloon flight. Yes, there are plenty of people who come here for vacation and never leave.

SEDONA
If Sedona’s freakishly beautiful ochre rock towers shooting skyward out of fragrant scrub seem familiar… at least until you remind yourself you’ve never been here before, don’t worry. At least 76 feature films and countless TV episodes and commercials have been fully or partially shot in Sedona. Sedona sits on the high desert surrounded by the 1.8-millionacre Coconino National Forest and under the southwestern rim of the Colorado Plateau which forms the towering vistas – named Coffeepot, Cathedral, Bell and Snoopy for the resemblance to their namesakes – surrounding this unique community 110 miles north of Phoenix. At an elevation of 4,500 feet and protected by the Plateau, the area enjoys four mild, sunshine-filled seasons and clean air, with average high temperatures in the mid-70s and lows in the mid-40s.
           
Sedona hasn’t inspired only Hollywood: there are more artists per capita here than anywhere else in the country. Raku pottery, hand-hammered wind chimes, fine jewelry, juniper furniture, oil paintings, bronze sculpture – they’re all imagined and made, and sold, here. To check out the latter, head to Tlaquepaque. Actually, art galleries are everywhere in Sedona, but at Tlaquepaque – it’s all conveniently, and very cutely, close. Modeled on a Mexican Village, you’ll want to spend the better part of a day wandering its maze of pedestrian paths and too-quaint alleys and restaurants.
           
For art of another sort – say that created by none other than Mother Nature – head for Oak Creek Canyon. Hike the Eagle’s Nest Trail in Red Rock State Park. Channel your inner child sliding down slippery rock sluices (one 30 feet long) at Slide Rock State Park. Gawp at towering walls and absurdly abrupt abysses – preferably from the safety of an open air Jeep tour, courtesy of Pink Jeep Tours or Red Rock Western Jeep Tours. Entertaining and informative guides captain tours for all levels of adventure including rugged terrain, stone pinnacles, sandstone arches, famous movie locations and the archaeological ruins. Both companies offer customized special events to meet the needs of your group.
           
Other popular off-site activities include horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and hot air balloon rides. And, a trip to Sedona wouldn’t be complete without a vortex tour. Sedona’s New Age population claims that a vortex is an invisible source of electromagnetic energy which psychics and spiritual healers can tap into.
           
Meeting planners have more than 40,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, and some 3,000 hotel rooms available to choose from. Sedona offers a range of choices, from moderately priced national brand hotels to luxurious world renowned spa resorts, some of which rest on the scenic banks of Oak Creek and others located nearby in secluded canyons.
           
Golf is part of nearly every community in the state and Sedona is no exception.  Tee it up at the Sedona Golf Resortjust steps from Hilton Sedona Resort & Spa.  Located on the site of many classic western movies, it’s widely considered among the world’s most unforgettable golf experiences. This popular par-71 championship golf course, designed by Gary Panks, features emerald greens set amid towering crimson sentinels. With its spectacular 17,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse, the facility offers an ideal setting for gatherings following a round of golf. Situated near beautiful Oak Creek Canyon, the newly renovated Radisson Poco Diablo Resortwith its nine-hole golf course as well as tennis courts, is another great option.

VERDE VALLEY
There’s an area in the western United States that produces some amazing wines. And it’s not Napa. Or rather, it’s in addition to Napa. South and west of Sedona, the Verde and Chino Valleys produce wines so fine three Presidents have poured them for foreign dignitaries at the White House. Javelina Leap, Caduceus (an effort of the multitalented lead singer of the rock band Tool), Alcantara, Page Springs Cellars, and Granite Creek are some of the wineries in the area that welcome visitors. Purely in the interest of scientific inquiry we’re sure, The Wall Street Journal conducted a blind taste test that had Arizona wines facing up against biggies from California, Washington, and Oregon. The findings? Arizona labels topped nearly every category. A particular high-scorer was  Alcantara’s 2005 Chardonnay.
           
Not surprising given this local wine and vine scene, Clarkdale’s scenic Verde  Canyon Railroad, built between 1912 and 1913 by 250 men, 200 mules, and unknowable amounts of dynamite, does weekly “Grape Train Escapes.” Even if your timing doesn’t match up with one of these Friday rides, the 40-mile out-and-back chug along the banks of the Verde River is worth the four hour investment. (The railroad operates year-round.) Make sure to tear your eyes from the canyon-defining sandstone and black basalt cliffs and the canopy of cottonwoods, sycamores, and ash that stretch like an umbrella over the Verde River to scan for wildlife – deer, javelina, and antelope year-round and, in winter, numerous birds of prey including bald eagles.
           
If you’re looking for history, nearly a millennium ago Sinagua Indians built their homes at what is now Tuzigoot National Monument and Montezuma Castle National Monument. Tuzigoot preserves the ruins of a 110-room village from (about) 1125 until (about) 1425, while Montezuma Castle’s 20 rooms soar five stories up a cliff overlooking Verde Valley.

PRESCOTT
Prescott is nearly equidistant from Phoenix, Flagstaff and Grand Canyon at  approximately 90 miles to any. At an elevation of 5,300 feet, the climate is temperate with summer temperatures averaging 85 degrees and winter temperatures around 50 degrees.
           
Starting with first things first, the pronunciation of Prescott isn’t quite as obvious as you might think. It’s “press-kit.” And no, we don’t know why. What we do know is that Prescott was a consequence of a gold rush that started in 1863 and soon thereafter – say, the next year – when Arizona became an official territory, was named the territorial capital. For much of the rest of the century, it remained the most important, as well as the richest, city in the state. The town could have died in 1890, when a fire maliciously consumed most every building, but plucky residents quickly rebuilt.
           
With no such structure-destroying disasters since, about 500 of these 1890s-era homes and commercial buildings, all very well-preserved and -looked after, are the reason Prescott is awash with National Historic Districts. Historic structures include a schoolhouse, dozens of doily-esque Victorians, several of which of course have been happily amended into bed and breakfasts, a governor’s log “mansion,” and The Palace, which has been serving up brews and news for almost 120 years.
           
If you’re crunched for time, get the biggest bang for your historic buck by booking your meeting or event at the Historic Hassayampa Innwith 9,500 sq. ft. of meeting space – it’s located in downtown Prescott near Whiskey Row (a street lined with historic saloons, bars and hotels).
           
Prescott’s wide range of accommodations includes some 50 hotels with over 1,300 rooms and over 27,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. Located just two blocks from Courthouse Square in the historic Whiskey Row district in downtown Prescott, Springhill Suites’ stylish suites are smartly designed for working, relaxing and sleeping, plus have great extras like free Wi-Fi and a desk with ergonomic chair. Prescott’s newest all-suite property, Residence Inn by Marriott is located just off Highway 69 at the Prescott Gateway Mall, and offers upscale studio, one- and two-bedroom suites and 1,700 sq. ft of conference space, making this one of Prescott’s finest hotels.
           
For those seeking outdoor activities, the 1.25-million-acre Prescott National Forest offers some 20 recreational facilities just a few minutes from the Courthouse Square. The Forest has 450 miles of maintained trails in the tall ponderosa pines for hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers. Area lakes offer fishing and boating with canoe and boat rentals available at Lynx Lake south of town and Granite Basin Lake, to the northwest, offers camping and fishing. Watson Lake and Willow Springs Reservoir, both inside the city limits, are surrounded by beautiful rock formations, referred to as Granite Dells.

STUPEFYING SCENERY
While we’re sure you’ve enjoyed – or will enjoy – looking at all of this America-the- Beautiful scenery, Arizona isn’t really a look-but-don’t-touch kind of place. Four of the state’s six national forests are partially or completely in the North Central region:  Coconino, Prescott, Tonto, and Apache-Sitgreaves. Between them they’ve got a stupefying variety of scenery. And with this varied scenery comes varied activities: fishing, boating, hiking, scenic drives (we like the 400- some switchbacks of the 123-mile Coronado Trail Scenic Byway), rock climbing, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
           
True water explorers head for Arizona’s only wild and scenic river, the Verde, for fantastic fishing, as well as do-it-yourself canoeing and kayaking on mostly scenic waters. Near Globe, professional outfitters guide trips on the class III and IV Salt River. Salt trips start in oak and juniper forests before the river descends into lower elevations and the saguaro-rich Sonoran Desert.
