Phoenix

Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. One fun fact is that Phoenix experiences more sunny days per year than almost any major city. The city sits in the Sonoran Desert and is surrounded by striking mountain landscapes. Phoenix has a long history dating back to ancient canal systems built by the Hohokam people. The city’s layout is expansive, with wide streets and neighborhoods stretching for miles. Phoenix has become a hub for sports, technology, and healthcare industries. Despite its desert setting, the city offers abundant outdoor recreation, from hiking Camelback Mountain to desert botanical gardens.
