Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. Do some cultural sightseeing at Goldfield Ghost Town and Old Town Scottsdale. Your inner history buff will appreciate Casa Grande Ruins National Monument and Besh Ba Gowah. Change things up with these side-trips from Phoenix: Boyce Thompson Arboretum (in Superior), Tonto National Monument (in Roosevelt) and Taliesin West (in Scottsdale). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Musical Instrument Museum, tour the pleasant surroundings at Phoenix Zoo, take in the awesome beauty at Camelback Mountain, and soar above the sights with a balloon tour.
