In Phoenix there is the Heard Museum where they do have collections Best florist in Scottsdale
of indian things. It was one of the first places I visited after learning
about it. I too am interested in native American crafts and of how
they lived in Arizona at one time. They have a dwelling outside made Best florist in Scottsdale
of mud and sticks, typical of the original dwellings of the uncivilized
days.
You can pick up pamphlets in your motel or hotel lobby with info
on places to visit. You can go to the chamber of commerce in the
city and get info from them on nearby places to see.
You can take a train ride to the Grand Canyon from Williams, Az.
And there is another one you can take south of Tucson from Benson, Best florist in Scottsdale
Arizona, down through the former mining town areas near Tombstone. You can tour Tombstone and the shops inside of the original buildings. They have remodeled the Birdcage and put in a lower floor that was not decorated originally. That was added by the new owner some years ago. It was where a prolonged card game took place for so many days with the leading gamblers living there at the time. You can get a walking tour to see the town from the book store there. The old courthouse is the second one built following a fire where it used to be. But someone built a modern house which really ruins the town, from the western or historical perspective.

There is nearby Bisbee, which was a mining town. The old buildings Best florist in Scottsdale
that wind up narrow streets are now filled with things of interest to
tourists. But the upward winding streets are the more interesting and the buildings with nice facades that have withstood time.
You can drive up toward Sedona and see the cliff dwellings of
Montazumas' Castle, off of the freeway, or drive over to Jerome to see the tiered streets of that former silver mining town. There are arts and crafts people in the shops there now. And an old bordello is a restaurant that hugs the side of a cliff.
A trip to Arizona would not be complete without a trip to see the
Grand Canyon. You can take a train from Williams, Az. to the south] Best florist in Scottsdale
rim of the canyon. But make sure you have lunch before taking the
train, as food is out of sight once you get there.
Stop and take the exit to Sedona to see the red rocks at 'Red Rock
Crossing" as well as "Slide Rock". Take your cut offs to the Slide
Rock and slide down the natural rock flume to the pool below for a
cool dip. There are many things to take pix of there, so make sure
you take along a camera. They've added the jeep tours since I lived
down there. I guess it's a bumpy ride in the back hills and I don't
know what they can show you that you can't see by car.
On the way back, stop and drive through Prescott. It could be
anywere in America. It is a small cozy little town, that can be a
respite from the heat in Phoenix about now. It has a very inviting
appeal to live there. But there isn't much in the line of work to be
had. It's more of a retirement area now. Further toward Prescott
Valley is "the Dells" and there are strange limestone pinacles
reaching up out of the water. That's where they filmed, "Creature
of the Black Lagoon", back in the 50's, so I've read. There's also
the former home of Tom Mix the cowboy actor from the 30's. It
was turned into a mobile home park before I visited many years
ago for the first time.
You can also google the chamber of any town in Arizona to see
what each town has to offer. I hope you have a great time. Best florist in Scottsdale
