A hiking trip in Arizona is one of the best ways to let the Grand Canyon State's vast, ancient landscapes work their magic on you. From the depths of the Grand Canyon to the red rock buttes of Sedona and the sandstone walls of Canyon de Chelly, Arizona offers no shortage of breathtaking places to explore.

At the Grand Canyon's South Rim, hike the iconic Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trails, where each layer of rock reveals a chapter of the earth's history. Take in the view from the Desert View Watchtower, follow the Rim Trail to Hermits Rest, and gaze at the Milky Way over a designated Dark Sky Park. In Sedona's red rock country, hike beneath Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte, climb the Munds Wagon Trail, and explore Red Rock State Park on trails lined with ocotillo and juniper. Wander the historic mining town of Jerome, and visit the ancient dwellings of Tuzigoot and Montezuma Castle National Monuments.

In the heart of the Navajo Nation, Canyon de Chelly offers a rare chance to hike the canyon floor with a Navajo guide who shares the area's culture, history and folklore. Gaze up at the 800-foot sandstone spire of Spider Rock, home of Spider Woman, who taught the Navajo people the art of weaving. Pass traditional Navajo hogans and visit the Sliding House and White House Ruins. Along the way, see the colorful Painted Desert and the fossilized wood of Petrified Forest National Park.
