5Phoenix
Phoenix is the capital city of Arizona. It is also affectionately known as the “Valley of the Sun,” because it is sunny more than 300 days per year. Other than during what some call the brief “summer monsoons”, you will rarely see a rainy or cloudy day.
Temperatures can be as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. No worries though as there are lots of things to do here indoors and outdoors. Highlights here include Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak Park, the Desert Botanical Garden, the Musical Instrument Museum, the Heard Museum, and hot-air balloon tours.
