You’ve heard it before, but it needs saying again: Arizona is more than barren deserts and gaping canyons. However, you would be remiss to skip seeing the state’s beautiful desert landscape. Apart from its rich geological and social history, Arizona has some of the most Instagrammable locations in the world.

Here are four absolutely must-see locations you need to include in your next Arizona road trip.

Havasu Falls

Yes, you read that correctly. Arizona desert is home to one of the most stunning turquoise waterfalls you can imagine. Havasu Falls is located in the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the Grand Canyon. The word Havasupai literally translates to people of the blue-green waters.

Monument Valley

Those world famous towering red buttes are Monument Valley’s show-stopper. Their isolated red sandstone enormity is the definitive backdrop of the American Wild West. Drive by Monument Valley with your camera and some old-fashioned saloon music to have your John Wayne moment.

Horseshoe Bend

The Colorado River takes its famous horse-shoe shaped meander within Glen Canyon. The image of the glistening midnight blue horseshoe is so striking that it has become a favorite spot for social media influencers. Hiking your way through the 1.5 miles roundtrip from US Route 89, or driving on the access road to the parking lot, should get you there.

Grand Canyon National Park

You cannot plan a road trip to Arizona and simply miss going to the Grand Canyon. No matter where you look, the Grand Canyon National Park is home to a geological history that goes back millions of years. The canyon itself is 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and a mile deep. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open all year round, whereas the North Rim closes for the winter.

So, are you convinced you need to take a road trip through Arizona with your friends and family? You should be.
