I live in Central Phoenix and my very favorite place to go is Canyon Lake. Deep in the middle of the Superstition Springs Mountains. Freshwater lakes. You can take a ride on the Dolly Steamboat or just sit on the pier and take in the fresh air and crystal clear water with the mountains in the back drop. The ride is scary. Lots of winding cliffs and the lanes are average size, but going to the lake you're safe on the mountain side. Leaving the lake you have the cliffs and there is but a couple of inches of room between the lane and the cliff. 25mph limit. You won't regret. It is absolutely stunning. The natives sell their jewelry there sometimes too.

Great videos btw. I like Sedona and Flagstaff a lot to visit. Gorgeous and lots to do. As far as a city, Phoenix is great for all sorts of things-especially in Scottsdale. Tucson is great also. But even hotter each year than Phoenix. Dining, events, shopping, and all sorts of city things that cities are great for- that is Phoenix and Tucson, and both are really easy to get around for cities. But both Phoenix and Tucson are way, way way, too hot for like 8 months out of the year. Sedona is about 15 degrees cooler, but still had like two months well above 100 degrees this year. I Like Bisbee, but it is touristy and limited. Good to visit once or twice. A great restaurant there also. Prescott is FREAKING AMAZING. Great weather, great place to live with all the amazing amenities. It has everything I could ask for in a big town and it is like central between Phoenix, Flagstaff, Jerome and Sedona. Just over an hour to any one of them. If it weren’t so expensive it would be my number one place to live in all of America. I hope to be able to afford Prescott some day. All the people I know who have lived in Arizona for 10 years or more either live there or want to. Maybe just my experience, but wow, what a great place with so much to do indoors and outdoors. Prescott also has the best weather in maybe the entire country- and I lived in Hawaii for 5 years! People who live in Prescott don’t even want people to know about it, because it has doubled in size in the past 12 years to over 100,000. Many people who visit wind up moving here. That’s either great or not depending on how you see things.

Cottonwood for sure. It is certainly a growing town. Lots of great dining experiences. Wineries & Breweries popping up throughout. Plenty to do outdoors at the rivers. Settled in-between Jerome and Sedona, and only minutes to and from both. No constant very hectic visitor traffic like in Sedona and more to do than in Jerome. Nice places to stay, and can buy a vacation home, or permanent home for a good value. But prices are continuing to increase due to the growth. Can go to Sedona, enjoy, and not have to stay and deal with hoards of tourists that remain. The frustrated residents have to however. Albeit most are part-timers. It is also easy access highway 17 from Cottonwood on Route 260. No multiple twists, turns, or traffic signals. Just seven roundabouts on the eight mile straight open road. But, although a bit irritating, meant to slow down speeders. So good for public safety. Can travel either south to Prescott or north to Flagstaff in an hour either way. Phoenix south in about 1 1/2 hours. Tombstone and Bisbee are a few hours more in the south. But the Grand Canyon is only about two hours north. All in all, having weather like the Mediterranean and given its geographic location to many other enjoyable cities and sites, Cottonwood is hard to beat as a great small town. Although not immune from issues that impact other cities and towns, it is still a very nice quite place.

I lived for a while in Phoenix, in 1976, and one of the first places we went to was Payson. The road was 2 lanes then, and as I remember, Little 🇨🇭 Switzerland was there, and saw how it's grown when we went there from Phoenix in 2003. Also took the Superstition Trail, mostly unpaved through Tonto to Roosevelt Dam, and back through Apache, to Phoenix. Also have been to Jerome and through Sedona, much smaller then without the New Age style of today.

Hi Jackie. I’ve lived all over AZ for the last 40 years and truthfully Sonoita (an hour SE of Tucson) at a 5,000 foot elevation has been my absolute favorite. Cave Creek exploded and most all the ranches disappeared and Sedona is definitely beautiful but very Liberal and very Tourist oriented. I hike, ride, watch wildlife and Sonoita will remind you of Napa Valley or Prescott Valley with grasslands, rolling hills dotted with native oaks and lots of wildlife. We get snow 2-3 times a year but all our seasons are mild. It’s a huge birding area as well and the proximity to Bisbee, Tombstone, Patagonia, Nogales, Wilcox and others are all within an hour’s drive as well as Tucson. We are surrounded by Coronado National Forest and BLM land and some huge ranches. Lots of deer and antelope and other wildlife to see on a regular basis. You may also find Patagonia to be interesting which is only 15 minutes West of Sonoita. We have about 15 local vineyards and more are coming every year. Hope that helps and happy hunting!

Good job as always. . They told prospectors, "all you will find there is your Tombstone" is how Tombstone got its name, is how I've always heard it. Please throw Sierra Vista a bone in a future video.

Thanks for the video! I have lived in the beautiful Verde Valley for 13+ years now and love it. There is so much to see and do, but yes, tourism is ruining it and people moving here from Cali are driving up the property prices like crazy! Visiting the Payson/Pine/Strawberry area many years ago is what drew me to the beautiful northern part of the state. Prior to that visit, I thought Arizona was all boring desert! So not the case, it is a very beautiful state with so much to see and do!

Been everywhere in Az except south of Tucson (how much more desert can a fella stand) from Cailifornia City to pub crawling in Prescott, Safford, Morenci, Havasu. tubed the Salt cooled off in the Verde. Hands down most amazing sunsets any where I've lived and there's still more yet to see. Not from here but feel like I belong. Think I'll stay...
