I think any city you haven’t been to is worth visiting even if it sucks, at least you know it sucks. I like Scottsdale and Tempe… ---

I have heard Scottsdale/Tempe are awesome. I am sure Phoenix is pretty sweet too ---

the city itself is pretty lame…but the country around it is freeking beautiful. make sure you at least check out Sedona. ![http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/changingaging/sedona.jpg](http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/changingaging/sedona.jpg) and if the weather is warm enough when you are there you should go tubing down the Salt River. [http://www.saltrivertubing.com/](http://www.saltrivertubing.com/) edit: scratch that…tubing is closed till may 1st I would also recommend checking out the grand canyon ![http://whitneymcd7.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/grand-canyon.jpg](http://whitneymcd7.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/grand-canyon.jpg) ---

I took a 3 hour flight in a WWI biplane (snoopy style) around Sedona and one a little red rock tour. Dude had a private fighter plane collection. Probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. ---

Sedona is the most amazing place I’ve ever been. I would head out there every weekend and climb the rock formations when I lived in Phoenix. ---

Tucson was cool around the University, but there is probably a similar area right in Phoenix. There are a bunch of national and state parks around there, an airplane boneyard which is pretty cool, etc. I took a nice hike in one of the parks the one day. The scenery is amazing. ---

Flew through Phoenix last week. Looked nice from the airplane though I would have liked to explore the country region. ---

Been there plenty of times. Try to stay in Tempe, as it is home to ASU, and there are a bunch of good restaurants, bars within walking distance to Mill st. It’s about 15 minutes from downtown PHX. Downtown PHX is a waste of time. ---

Sedona was honestly the most amazing place I’ve ever visited, every inch of that place could be on a postcard ---
