  A variety of attractions surround Holbrook. To the north is the rugged plateau country with striking canyons containing prehistoric cliff-dwellings, such as those found in Canyon de Chelly. Much of the plateau country is Navajo and Hopi Reservation land. These reservations offer unique attractions including ceremonial dances, tribal events, and Indian arts and crafts.
  
  
• Grand Canyon: One of the world’s vast and beautiful wonders, the Grand Canyon is a must-see when visiting Arizona.

  The Mother Road - Route 66
  
  There was a slower, simpler time before the Interstate picked up the pace of today. Route 66 was the Main Street of America. Arizona is home to the longest original stretch of this road, which is one of 25 scenic byways in Arizona, and much of it is still preserved by the locals who lived it.
  
  If you are lucky, you may run into a couple who still live and work on the road and can tell you a story or two. History and nostalgia lie along the way on this classic road trip. So get your kitsch on Route 66.
  
  
• North Central Arizona: Not far north and east of the Phoenix Metropolitan area lays a landscape not many realize exists in Arizona. The areas known as Rim Country and the White Mountains are home to pine forests and lakes that inspired ancient dwellers and modern authors alike. Mormon settlers established themselves here, Zane Grey lived and wrote here and John Wayne worked his ranches here. Outdoor enthusiasts from anglers and birders to hikers and snow skiers will find four seasons in this year-round paradise.
  
  
• Tucson & Southern Arizona and North Central Arizona: Arizona is legendary for its deserts and desert creatures. However, there is another side of Arizona that may not be as legendary, but is just as wild - and certainly as beautiful.
  
  Arizona's wide open spaces provide opportunity for wildlife, wildflowers, fall foliage and wild adventure that you may not have known exists here. You can go from a 2,500-foot desert elevation to more than 10,000 feet, where snow caps the mountains and you can get stellar views of the stars. So pack your camera and your binoculars.
