Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, is the largest city in the state, the 5th largest city in the US and the  10th largest Metropolitan area in the country. The 5 million residents of the sprawling Phoenix Metro area lovingly refer to it as the “Valley of the Sun” – yes, we have sunshine 296 days out of the year!

Located on the Northeastern portion of the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix has a beautiful subtropical desert climate, a diverse number of plants and animals, and is home to more bird species than nearly anywhere else in the US.

While the climate is definitely hot June-August, it also attracts numerous winter visitors looking to escape cold winters, windy mornings and grey overcast afternoons throughout the fall and winter months.

Phoenix has a rich history, broad culture, fantastic restaurants, music and art venues – it’s no wonder it’s been home to many influential Americans. The valley of the Sun offers a wide variety of cultural, educational and outdoor opportunities and an endless array of international cuisine.

Come find endless sunshine and friendly people! Enjoy designer golf courses, high-end spas, exciting nightlife and never-ending outdoor recreational activities, all surrounded by stunning topography and desert landscapes… yet only a short drive north the mountains and pines of Northern Arizona!
