Arizona Dream

Curated and photographed by Natalie Allen

“I’ve been a desert girl all of my life. Born and raised, baby. Arizona has become one giant backyard for me to fully explore and indulge in its magical beauty and immense fun. The places listed in this guide encompass only the best spots for day hiking, camping, swimming, eating, and hard-core adventuring inside the most beautiful desert in the world. For those interested in more strenuous hikes, hard-to-get-to places, and off-the-beaten-path kind of locales — then look no further! Welcome to the Valley of the Sun.”
