Explore deep into the heart of Phoenix to find its best kept secrets, natural wonders, and inspiring people – not to mention a few ghosts – and discover the Old Western charm that still permeates the culture here. Visit a giant, golden panda, a gleaming white pyramid on a hilltop in Papago Park, and a curiosity shop on 7th Avenue. You can stargaze on horseback or at the top of a spiral tower resembling the Milky Way. Offer your respects at sites honouring the USS Arizona and the famed Navajo Code Talkers. Revel in the sight of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture, find true beauty beneath a gorgeous peacock staircase, and ponder why a giant robot is reading a book instead of tapping on its smartphone. From the world’s tallest Kachina doll to a serving of rattlesnake and cactus fries, Phoenix is a haven for those who are adventurous and have a passion the Wild West of yesterday and today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
