The capital city of Arizona is also known as the “Valley of the Sun.” It is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the US. Phoenix is a large, flat area situated in the Sonoran Desert and surrounded by mountains on all sides. Due to its arid climate, most of the city’s attractions are outdoors. Phoenix offers a wide range of hiking trails as well as world-class resorts. There are also numerous seasonal events, including the annual Phoenix Film Festival and PF Chang’s Rock and Roll Marathon.
