Introducing Phoenix
Covering almost 2000 sq miles, Phoenix is easily the largest metropolis in the Southwest. At first blush, it can feel like a limitless sprawl, incorporating dozens of bedroom communities, including Scottsdale, Mesa and Tempe. Reveling in more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Phoenix is searing hot in summer – think above 110°F (43°C) – but balmy days prevail in winter.
Building on its size, Phoenix has a lot to offer. There are major museums, top-notch professional sports, a cornucopia of excellent restaurants, nonstop nightlife, superlative shopping and – oddly for a desert – world-class golf (where do they get that water?). The city is also a major transportation hub, and is often used as a jumping-off point for further-flung adventures.
