Nobody seems to have mentioned these: Mount Lemon (southernmost ski resort in North America) near Tucson; it's open as a day hiking area in the summer. Cochise Stronghold and Fort Bowie, in the Dragoon/Chiricahua mountains in SE AZ. The Painted Desert and Petrified Forest East of Flagstaff Monument Valley. Hoover Dam Roosevelt lake along with the three smaller lakes below it. The London Bridge (and boardwalk) at Lake Havasu. Day trips on the lower colorado (start at Lake Havasu or near Kingman, up or down from there, great in the Winter, mild and relaxing). The Verde Canyon Railroad, a fine day-trip. The former route 666 (now 393, originally the "Navajo Trail"), runs through some very spectacular scenery in AZ and NM, and makes a nice 2 day trip (plan well, there aren't a lot of cities on that road). Closer to home there are literally hundreds of popular (and not-so-popular) places, including: Out of Africa The Phoenix Zoo The Desert Botanical Gardens The Heard Museum Hall of Flame Museum (firefighting museum) Arizona Railway Museum (http://www.azrymuseum.org/) Desert Wolf Tours (http://www.desertwolftours.com/) Many popular attractions have special events at various times of the year, so check their websites.
