This was an awesome experience, and Gil, our tram operator, was fantastic. My friend was having issues with vertigo, and he handled it wonderfully. There was music playing, the view was magnificent, and even though it was quite a bit colder up top, the views made it more than worth it. The dine option with the ticket was okay. The food was basic, but for a few dollars more, it's good. I have a milk allergy, so I was unable to get the mashed potatoes, meatloaf, or lasagna, but they had chicken. It had a good flavor, but was very dry. The veggies & salad were pretty tasty, and the potatoes were just OK. No rave reviews, but for the price okay. Overall, with the tram, hike, ambiance, and friendly staff, I would definitely recommend trying this.

The experience was excellent. There was no wind to speak of and the ride was super smooth going both ways, but steep and perhaps no ideal for people who are sensitive to heights. The views in the car and ontop of the mountain are spectacular. The food was well above average. The hike opportunities are nice and not very strenuous, although the high altitude and the thinner air will exert your body disproportionally. Would recommend the ride to anyone who is not fazed by heights.

I went on a business meeting and had one spare day so decided to and see the tramway. It was an amazing experience specially that tramway rotate while climbing using wires and pulley. Huge difference in temperature on top of the hill so always bring a good jacket. Ticket was 35 USD, but you have to wait minimum 1 hour. There is no public transportation so us UBER.

I had no idea what to expect with this but it was such a good experience. It’s a 10 minute tram ride up where you can find restaurants, a movie about your location, info on the tramway and how it was built, a little taxidermy museum, and tons of hiking trails. We did the dine and ride tickets for $6 more and got a great dinner included too. If you’re a hiker, I recommend going up in the morning so you can enjoy the trails all day

What an incredible experience. The tram ride itself was fun. Parking is designated. The place is clean and well maintained. And the staff were all great. The hike and views in the area is easy even kids enjoyed.

So much fun. What a contrast from sunny Palm Springs to chilly mountain top. Recommend going early in the day for less crowds. Buy your tickets ahead of time during busy seasons.

We took the tram up at 9:30 AM on November 22. When we got to the top, it was a winter wonderland with heavy snow falling.. although we didn’t get much chance to do much hiking because of the snow. It was amazing nonetheless..

A hot 90° but pleasant trip to the Living Desert zoo & Gardens. It was off season on a Tuesday afternoon, so it wasn't crowded at all. We were able to take our time. I really enjoyed their model trains and miniature city! Learn names of the plants & Cacti. The big cats are beautiful. Visited the nutrition center and vet hospital. We saw a bunch of baby tortoise, the 2 new super cute baby giraffe, 2 wallaby with joeys in their pouches. And a new comer, a badger. There was a ton of construction happening, so I'll have to come back when that's finished to see the new lion exhibit and during the season when its bustling! Super friendly staff and feed the giraffe.

Visited here with my boyfriend, mom and toddler. We’re from out of town and were skeptical about spending $40 each to get in, but I’m so glad we did. We spent a couple hours there and easily could have spent some extra time there. They let you feed the giraffes which I thought was so cool and probably the highlight for me. They just had babies in September so that was also really cool. We were there at just the right time as they just added an exhibit for monkeys. I love me some monkeys. They also recently added a splash pad for kids to play at and that was a great little stop to cool down for my little one. I loved how open the exhibits were and how much extra space the animals had comparative to some of the other zoos I’ve been to. Highly recommend checking this zoo out.

This place is absolutely amazing. You can tell this is a sanctuary for animals and not a place where they are put on display. The staff care so much for these animals and it shows. My husband and I visit every year and we also love to come for the holiday light fest they have at night during late November through December. It’s such a gorgeous place to visit and walk through. Literally fun for all ages. I fed the giraffes this time too and it was so awesome to be so up close with them. You can also be up close with the wallaby’s in their enclosure and watch them hop around which was so fun.

We found this on our visit to Palm Springs and decided to take a couple hours out of our day and go. Ticketing was very easy and there was no line to speak of. Loved the way the grounds were laid out and the different fauna and flora, the towering palm trees, the agaves, aloes and the different types of desert plant life. We were surprised to see as many active animals as we did and the number of animals was impressive. The gentleman at the rhino exhibit took his time and gave us lots of info on the rhino’s. Fun and informative way to spend a coupe hours while in the Palm Springs area.

Excellent place for all ages! Great interactions with the animals and staff. Plenty of places to eat or bring your own food and drink. Handicap accessible for a majority of the park. There are several unpaved trails that take you through the botanical cactus deserts. There is also a beginner half mile hiking trail accessible inside the park. Plenty of trees for shade while walking around the park. plenty if chairs and benches throughout the park. You could stay there all day and relax watching the animals. Will definitely make the trip to visit again!

We were there for the first time this morning. What a great zoo! It is extremely clean and well organized. The animal enclosures and habitats were great. The volunteer man who was working at the bobcat exhibit was excellent! He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Those two bobcats we're adorable. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning and super organized zoo! Way more fun than I expected for just $40 ticket price! The miniture area is so sick 🤯🤯also those animal live here looks so happy, and fat! Lmao

Don't look down. It would be a big fall. There can be gust of winds. It's a big climb to get to the bridge. Honestly pretty cool bridge. It can be quite hot up there. Bring water because you will need it on the hike.

Amazing viewpoint connecting Nevada and Arizona! The bridge offers a breathtaking overlook of Hoover Dam and the Colorado River below. Short hike from the parking area to the viewpoint with clear signage. Windy up there, so hold onto your hat! Definitely worth the stop.

The Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge, also known as the Hoover Dam Bypass, is located along US Highway 93 at the Arizona/Nevada state line. Its official address is 27953, 28689 Great Basin Highway in Boulder City, Nevada. This bridge spans the Colorado River after water passes by the Hoover Dam power generators and spillways. It was built to divert traffic that used to drive along the top of the Hoover Dam. There is a pedestrian path along the bridge and its wall does a pretty good job blocking the view of the Hoover Dam from vehicles driving the across the bridge. I have not walked across the bridge, but I understand that it provides a great vantage point to view the Hoover Dam. This arch bridge sits 890 feet (270 m) above the Colorado River. Like every bridge, it will flex and sway from traffic driving across the bridge as well as wind passing through The Black Canyon of the Colorado. This sway is intentional as a rigid structure would be damaged by the forces exerted upon it.

After our Hoover Dam tour, we moved our car to the free outdoor lot (Boulder Dam Bridge Parking) and walked the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge. You can visit the bridge before or after the dam, but if you’re joining a tour, it’s best to do the tour first in the morning and save the bridge walk for later. This massive bridge connects Arizona and Nevada, built to ease traffic around the dam. It opened in 2010, is 1,905 ft long (579m), 890 ft high (270m), and is the 2nd tallest bridge in the U.S. and it even won a bridge design award in 2012. It’s named after: • Mike O’Callaghan, Governor of Nevada (1971–1979) • Pat Tillman, an NFL player who left his career to serve in the military and died in action in 2004. You can walk across the bridge to get amazing views of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. You might feel the bridge slightly sway( something to keep in mind if you’re afraid of heights). We visited in late March and it was super hot and dry (over 30°C / 90°F), so definitely bring a hat and water. The bridge isn’t long, but with no shade, it feels intense under the sun. If you have a free day in Vegas, this side trip is totally worth it!

This was a part of my tour called Grand Canyon West, Hoover Dam skywalk tour. Definitely do if you’re able to withstand the heat and the walking.

The lynchpin of a very important bypass of the Hoover Dam. Quite the engineering marvel. The bird's-eye view of the dam is unparalleled. Several placards on the way briefly describe the process to build the bridge. Popular with visitors.

One of the best structures built. Beautiful view of Hoover dam and nice walking path.

America is great. What a sight. What an accomplishment. It is always a must see. You can now drive across the dam again. Also can walk across it. Tours are first come first serve. So you get there and get in line and then get assigned a time. The view from the bridge is also spectacular.

Love it! Absolutely massive and breathtaking! One of the most incredible sites I’ve ever visited. The scenery is stunning from all perspectives, the engineering is mind-blowing, and it’s such an impressive place overall. 100% worth the trip.

Great place to visit, entrance and parking is free. However, DO NOT go into the visitor center because they have ticket ranges from 15 to 40 dollars for exhibitions which last five minutes. Don’t waste your money on that, just walk outside and enjoy it thete

An absolutely breathtaking engineering marvel! As an engineer, I was truly amazed by the incredible architecture and precision behind the Hoover Dam. The massive structure, the surrounding scenery, and the sheer scale of this monument are mind-blowing. It’s a perfect tribute to the brilliance of civil engineering and a symbol of human innovation. Just 40 minutes from Las Vegas, this place is a must-visit — the views, the backwaters, and the overall experience will leave you speechless. Don’t miss the chance to witness this masterpiece of engineering excellence!”

I had seen multiple pictures of this dam and thought it was big, but this thing is HUGE!!! We did the tour that took us down inside and that was very informative. It’s also very interesting looking around in the museum and seeing all things they used and how they built it. Definitely a cool place to visit!!

Hoover Dam is an engineering marvel showcasing human ingenuity and strength. The view of the Colorado River from the top is breathtaking. A must-visit landmark that beautifully combines history, architecture, and nature.

Seeing the Hoover Dam was amazing. I'm glad I got to experience this place. Was free to walk around and take pictures but if you choose to you can pay to take the tour at a reasonable price.thwees also a gift shop and diner on sight with free parking.

If you’re in Vegas and you want to make a day trip to the Grand Canyon this is perfect. It took us about two hours to drive there and the cost for the skywalk and the general admission was about $60. That might seem a bit steep but I can tell you that I felt it was worth it. Though I was scared to death to walk around the skywalk I was blown away by the incredible views of the Grand Canyon. I would suggest this place as a day trip for anybody that doesn’t have time to make the 4 Hour Dr. to the actual park.

No hours posted or if it is open

Great place to visit

Skywalk at Grand Canyon West I recently visited the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West, and overall, the experience was disappointing. While mobile phones are allowed, the professional photographers stationed along the Skywalk tend to block the best viewing spots, making it hard to enjoy the view or take your own photos freely. It felt more like a sales setup than a scenic experience , with constant pressure to step aside so they can take photos to sell you later. The Skywalk itself is much smaller than expected, and although the view is nice, it's not significantly better than other areas of the canyon that are free and far less commercialized. For the high ticket price, I expected something more immersive and less restricted. Crowds, limited time on the platform, and overall poor value made this a low point in an otherwise amazing Grand Canyon trip. If you're planning to visit, I’d recommend skipping the Skywalk and heading to the South Rim or other less tourist-heavy viewpoints, you’ll get better views, more freedom, and a more authentic connection with the canyon.

Absolutely breathtaking experience! The Skywalk at Grand Canyon West was unreal — totally worth the trip. They give you slippers to put on before you enter the skywalk. Standing on that glass bridge and looking straight down into the canyon is wild… it honestly feels like you’re floating in the sky! Even if ur afraid of heights, by the time you go around the 3rd time(15 min allowed for each time), it’s not so scary and is even thrilling! The views are beyond words — endless layers of red rock, the Colorado River running through, and this peaceful, powerful energy all around. I spent a few hours exploring the area — there are great photo spots everywhere, places to sit and take it all in, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Everything felt really organized, and the whole experience was smooth. I’d 100% recommend going early because the light hits the canyon in the most magical way. It’s one of those bucket-list places you just have to see in person — no photo can do it justice! The skywalk closes at 5 pm, so there’s really no chance of seeing the sunset, unless it’s deep into winter, but hopefully soon, they will extend the hours. Free parking on site.

I enjoyed the skywalk! It was interactive and more fun than I thought it would be. I went early AM on a Sunday and the crew working at that time was very laidback. Everyone was allowed to take pictures and the camera crew didn’t force their services on anyone unless they asked. I would definitely suggest going early if you can and going offseason. I went in mid-October. It was nice because I felt like I had some parks of the canyon to myself! Not sure if it would be something I’d ever do again just due to cost and time restrictions, but I do think it’s worth checking out at least once! It was pretty close to Vegas. I drove out in the early AM and I would estimate it’s a half day trip if you start somewhat early.

I’ve always wanted to visit GCW since the Skywalk opened and finally got there today and it was an amazing experience. Awesome views of the canyon from around the property and directly down some 3,000’ below along on the Skywalk loop. The Skywalk is a cantilever design with nothing supporting it underneath as it hangs precariously over the canyon edge. There are also authentically correct replicas of several different Indian homes from different Tribes indigenous to this area of the Grand Canyon. There also locals selling jewelry, a snack shop; dancers; restaurant, and gift shop. PS: Some trails can be rugged…

100% worth a visit... Very well run, clean throughout and all staff are super friendly. Stunning photo opportunities of the Grand Canyon West, Eagle Point and the Skybridge

So amazing!!! To be walking on glass almost a mile over the Grand Canyon floor is amazing. The only negative about visiting here and Guano Point was that it cost 100 dollars plus taxes a person. But worth doing it once. The views are amazing and worth it. As I have recommended on the other stop, I would go in the late fall or early spring. It was so hot when we visited in the summer. Staff is very kind. The shuttle comes every few mins so it’s very easy navigating around.

Breath taking views from both Eagle point (skywalk) and Guano point. It is a long drive down a single lane highway which is poorly sign posted. You can purchase your ticket 🎟 at the gate. All access pass is about $100 USD and will give access to Skywalk and Zip lining. Well worth the trip, suitable for all ages.

In love with the grand canyon national Park. Despite the government shut down, we did not experience any difficulties staying within the park.. the employees were amazing and helpful. The paved hikes are really amazing because it was easy taking the kids (4 year and 11months) to watch the sunset and stargazing. God truly is the best painter. Beautiful rims.

Our family visit to the Grand Canyon was incredible. The scenery is stunning beyond words — layered colors, endless cliffs, and views that make you stop in your tracks. The trails were well marked, the overlooks were amazing, and the entire park was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend for anyone looking for unforgettable natural beauty.

Grand Canyon National Park is one of the most extraordinary destinations in the world — a true masterpiece of nature. The canyon’s vastness, intricate layers of rock, and vibrant colors create a landscape that is both humbling and unforgettable. Whether viewed from the rim or explored from within, every angle reveals a new perspective on the Earth’s incredible geological history. The park is exceptionally well-maintained, with a variety of experiences suited for every visitor. Scenic viewpoints offer stunning panoramas, while well-marked trails provide opportunities for hiking, photography, and solitude. The sunrise and sunset views are particularly breathtaking, painting the canyon in golden and crimson hues that defy description. Park rangers and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about preservation and visitor education. Their guidance enhances the experience, ensuring that guests can explore safely and responsibly. In every sense, Grand Canyon National Park stands as a testament to the beauty and power of nature. It is a destination that leaves a lasting impression and should be considered an essential stop for anyone seeking to witness one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring and majestic places I’ve ever visited. Standing at the rim, you’re completely humbled by the sheer size, beauty, and silence of this natural wonder. The vast layers of colorful rock formations tell millions of years of Earth’s history, and the way the light changes across the canyon walls throughout the day is absolutely mesmerizing. No photo can ever do it justice — you truly have to see it in person to understand how incredible it is. Every viewpoint offers something unique. The South Rim provides sweeping panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see, while the North Rim feels more peaceful and secluded. The hiking trails, like Bright Angel and South Kaibab, let you experience the canyon up close each turn revealing new shades of red, orange, and gold. Even just walking along the rim, you feel the power and timelessness of nature surrounding you. Watching the sunrise and sunset at the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience. The colors shift and glow in ways that almost feel unreal — from deep purples and blues in the morning to fiery reds and oranges as the sun sets behind the cliffs. The atmosphere becomes completely still, and everyone around you falls silent, just taking it all in. The park is also well-organized, with excellent visitor centers, friendly rangers, and clean facilities. There are plenty of lookouts, rest spots, and information panels that make it easy to explore and appreciate the history and geology of the area. Overall, the Grand Canyon isn’t just a place you visit it’s a place you feel. It leaves a deep impression and a sense of wonder that stays with you long after you leave. It’s one of the most extraordinary natural landscapes in the world, and a trip everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

We were in Arizona and visited the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Breathtaking, magnificent, and true natural wonder. No words can describe the experience. A definite add to anyone's bucket list. We cant wait to go back and see the north rim

My second time to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The first time was 50 years ago. Still one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places in the United States of America. We arrived just before sunrise and during the two hours we were there the scenes change as the sun rises higher in the sky. Sunrise and sunset are the times I recommend for viewing this magnificent place as that is when the shadows are long and the definition is high. It's cold that early so wear warm clothes in layers as it gets quite warm fast.

⭐ Visitor Review – Grand Canyon South Rim The Grand Canyon South Rim is a must‑see—every stop delivers awe and unforgettable moments. Our first stop was the Desert View Watchtower, a stone sentinel on the canyon’s edge. Climbing its spiral staircase revealed vibrant Native American motifs, colors dancing like notes on a score. Laughter and the refrain “Gorgeous, it was was” carried us onward. Cruising Desert View Road to the Visitor Center, we made a beeline for the rim—and then the *OH MAN* moment hit. That view. That peace. Photos couldn’t capture the impossible scale, though we tried. A tourist’s wild hand gestures suggested standing closer to the edge; we laughed and wisely backed away. 👉 Highly recommended: The Grand Canyon South Rim is more than a view—it’s an experience etched in memory.

A short walk in a beautiful red rocks landscape (though probably not the best one in Sedona!). Hike up a little higher other than the base path and be blessed with sweeping views of the area.

Just came back we really enjoyed it majestic view and it gives you a sense of calm and peace. Couldn’t make the hike because of knee injury but next time will do

Breathtaking vistas, a calmness that is hard to describe. If you have any appreciation for geological features… This is a must see.

It was beautiful! Peaceful and serene. I highly recommend buying your park ticket ahead of time. Also, get up early to go visit these places. Parking fills up quickly.

Great place to hike! Some paths are easy and others are more challenging. Parking is a bit of a challenge. There are a couple of lots ($5.00/day) but all were full with cars coming in constantly. We lucked out by finding someone leaving.

Great hike but park in north parking if you intent to climb. The climb was good. Surprisingly at the top I felt tingling effect in my feet and legs. After coming down my wife told me about vortex at bell rock. I don’t believe these but I felt something, kind of interesting.

Great walk, stunning views and clearly indicated. Bring enough water, it gets hot in summertime.

Easily one of the most wonderful stops we made on our trip. We spent time here enjoying the views and peaceful vibe. Everything from the drive in to the walk up the ramp was stunning. Once you reach the entry you are greeted by friendly staff. I can understand why it has so many good reviews. We picked up some items from the amazing ladies in the gift shop and enjoy part of a mass. The gift shop had things packed into every available space so take your time and you’ll find something for sure. Most are religious items, however there are many items that were not. So many people showed for mass, they placed chairs outside to maximize the amount of people who could enjoy it. Parking is a bit tricky, with only a few handicapped spaces, and the walk uphill once you find a spot made people a bit frustrated - I would suggest trying to find a slow time. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was pretty busy. I have to assume earlier weekdays would be better. You can drop people who can’t do the uphill walk at the top of the hill but getting a vehicle turned around and back down can be tough and take a bit. They have team members on golf carts if you can get one! Take a small car if you can!

Major shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

Parking is very limited. As well as safely getting a good picture. Be safe taki.g photos below the road. The insode of the church is very small. They do allow you to come inside and talk to God. There's a smal gift shop below. The views of sedon is beautiful at the top of the church

Beautiful place with stunning views and a well-known tourist destination. Parking: Free parking is available either right outside the chapel or at the lower level, with golf carts available to take visitors to the top (free service, accept tips). You can drive up and park if a spot is open, or return to the lower lot if full. There is also a Sedona shuttle connect service that takes guests to the top, providing another great option. Kudos to the staff for their excellent efforts in managing and assisting visitors despite the limited parking availability.

Super grateful my husband took us here on our return trip from California to Chicago. Shout out to Chapel of the Holy Cross you’re truly setting the bar for excellence thank you to all those that maintain the grounds and for have handicap accessible parking. This Chapel is alive with the energy of God, beautiful place to come and pray and see very beautiful scenic view.. if you’re doing cross country trips or just visiting Sedona, Arizona I highly recommend that you put this on your bucket list of places to see as well worth the trip

I went on a busy Saturday, but still found a parking spot in one of thier 2 small parkings lots. You park below and walk up the street or the labeled dirt trail, and there is about 5 disabled parking spots at the top..... plenty of room to get in and walk around the Chapel and gift shop downstairs, without waiting. You can walk up the the front of the Chapel, once inside and see the Jesus footprints in Bronze. Be sure to get lots of scenic pics on both sides, when outside by the Chapel. Worth the quick stop, it was free and it took me about 30-45 min. Worth of time to see.

Nice place to stop and visit. It was packed with people so we ended up parking on the lower section and took the trail up to see everything. Short little hike but not all that difficult. Nice walking path to get to the Chapel. Amazing location / views with all that surrounds it.

The rangers and volunteers here are so kind and sweet. Loved this park so much. Love that its less crowded too. Ive been to a few with native dwellings. I plan to see all of them. This one is in the top 3. Beautiful views.

The history here is incredible, what a great place to visit. You need to know that it is not a quick in and out if you want to hike the whole trail, and there are a billion, or maybe 10 billion stairs. 😄 But it really is a good hike, read up on it a bit before you go so you can see the significance of this awesome place. The visitors center has restrooms, information, and a small gift shop. There is the Rim trail also which is shorter and flat, in case the stairs are an issue. Plenty of parking too, I highly recommend.

Wulnut Canyon was a surprise for me and I would recommend to visit this place. Amazing walk and tour through the Canyon. There's a parking place on the front and you pay the National Park entrance fee what is valid for next 7 days if you visit again or other things in National Park. It's not valid for the Grand Canyon, you pay for that separately.

A wonderful experience exploring ancient cliff dwellings in a spectacular setting. Great visitor center with helpful park staff to learn about the villages and the people who once lived there. There are two paved trails, The Rim Trail with great overviews, and the Island Trail, which was my favorite. The Island Trail has more than 700 steps, and it takes you right up to the dwellings.

A Hidden Gem on the Road: Walnut Canyon National Monument During a road trip, we discovered Walnut Canyon National Monument by surprise, and it turned out to be a truly beautiful and unexpected place. It's a slice of nature that hides from the highway, revealing a spectacular landscape with ancient ruins. A Place to Explore and Enjoy: The park is very well-organized and maintained. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff is very friendly. Although it was a quick visit for us, we realized it's a place where you can stay as long as you like. There's a picnic area with breathtaking views of the canyon, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The site has a visitor center, a souvenir shop, and, most notably, trails that lead down into the canyon. These paths allow visitors to get a closer look at the ruins, which are like "houses" built into the canyon walls by past civilizations. Although we didn't have time to do these hikes, they looked safe and well-marked. A Worthwhile Destination: In summary, Walnut Canyon National Monument is a tranquil and beautiful place that is definitely worth visiting. It's a perfect addition to a road trip and a gem we hope to explore with more time in the future.

Absolutely beautiful place! The scenery is breathtaking and the trails are very well maintained. A special thank you to Ranger Lucy — she was so kind, caring, and incredibly patient with us, even though we arrived about 20 minutes before closing time. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel so welcome. Her dedication truly made our visit extra special. Highly recommend visiting this gem!

Walnut Canyon National Monument is absolutely stunning. It does not require a long hike and you can take in so much of the canyon with just a short walk. The staff here was so friendly and helpful. The views were stunning and very much worth stopping by.

Highly recommend for visiting! It was very interesting to see really crater and visited museum and trued astronauts foods… Nice point!

Definitely one of my favorite parks. If you're going to be in the area, it's absolutely worth a stop. If you're looking for a spot to camp for free, basically all of the roads outside the park allow dispersed camping.

Beautiful crater with an interesting history as to its formation and magnitude. Trails at the base offer unique views.

Small, but wonderful park. It doesn't seem as over run with people as some ofvthe others. Very peaceful. It's a shame that so much of the park was burned in a fire in '22. Some of the trails are closed. Still some very interesting walks to take, getting up close the the lava. Beautiful views. Nice visitors center.

We were there on Dec. 4.2023. We had Ben hear back on April 2018. We found this place simply awesome . Seeing the lava flows. Around and the nice walk ways around the Crater part is really nice also have nice trials to walk on to . There where area when come in to park you can pull off and get a good Picture of the Sunset Crater . And the Mountains behind you when there they had snow on them . It was really pretty to see.

We love coming here, it's peaceful, has great trails and I love the "crunch- crunch" sounds when walking on the rocks of the lava flow. Beautiful!!

Neat place to observe volcano(s). Lots of plants growing in the lava remains and nice trails

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently visited The Creator in Arizona, and it was an unforgettable gorgeous, experience! The vast beauty of the wide-open spaces took my breath away, and the stunning views were nothing short of spectacular. The family-friendly visitor center was a great addition, providing informative displays and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely pack your own snacks and water- no food onsite. I also want to highlight the knowledgeable tour guides who made our visit even more enjoyable. They were passionate about the area and shared fascinating insights that truly enriched our experience. I highly recommend visiting The Creator for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of Arizona!

We had a great visit to the Meteor Crater! The drive itself was beautiful on a cool Saturday morning - calm and pleasant with little traffic despite the rain warning. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating details about the crater’s history and science. The museum and 4D experience were engaging, and the highlight was getting to see and actually touch a real meteor - truly the star of the show! If you enjoy astronomy, you could easily spend the whole day here.

What a spectacularly massive site to see!! Even the little ones easily made it to the top. There are free water bottle filling stations and a great coffee shop. The children’s play area is neat. The gift shop is great too and even has meteor shards for sale. I’ll never forget the smell of the meteor chunk either-like a huge bag of nickels and iron. The amount of informational displays in the visitors center is phenomenal and fun! We’ll absolutely be back!!!

Visited 11/1/2025 Amazing to see - we were greeted with smiles and welcomed in. The building was clean the restrooms were clean very well kept. The grounds were beautiful. Getting to the crater (the view point) was steep walk the rails came in handy. The rails were nicely painted. They do have an elevator to assist getting to view point. The gift shop was great loved all the mineral rocks they do have space items also. They have tours, attractions, a little museum and other room for kids. It was an interesting. Place. Price 29.00 adult or each.

We had a a great time! The kids and husband loved it and I’m a space nerd so I really enjoyed this! I was like a kid in a candy shop! Just 20-30 minutes out side of flagstaff! Worth the money and the time! Worth the experience! There is soo much to do kids zone restaurant/coffee shop gift shop a 4D movie and a 3D ride! Hayden did the tour and was amazing he made the whole group laugh and he was very patient with our 5 year old answering ALL the questions/statements he asked! We highly recommend stopping for a visit if your around meter crater!!

Impromptu stop on our way to Vegas 🔥 Awesome addition to our road trip. We loved the facts shared at the site. The information gained from the discovery of that meteor crater that helped with discoveries world wide was game changing. Super cool. Glad we all had jackets! Happened to be raining and was pretty chilly out. Overall great. Worth the 31 dollars per person because I'm a nerd and like things like this.

I get it. It’s a hole in the ground, but somehow it’s more. If you’re interested in science this is a worthy stop. You can spend several hours here if you want, including hiking around the crater, but you can also get the highlights and views in an hour or so if you’re in a hurry. There are some interactive things for kids, including a 4D “ride” where the seats move around with a big screen to simulate flying into space. If you’re worried about motion sickness there are some seats that don’t move. There’s also a brief video that explains what happened there, and they offer guided tours (included with admission cost).

So other than the corner and a couple of bars and gift shops there's not a lot to do here. It's really easy to get too just off the interstate, but if you're driving an RV parking could be challenging. If you're looking for a short stop and a bit of food at an old fashioned tourist place then this is the perfect place to go

A fun afternoon standing on the corner! Nice shops for souvenirs. I was here in '22, but didn't stick around long r/t homeless on each corner. Happy to day none this time. The town has added outdoor eating/pubs since then. You have to see the world smallest chapel n garden area. Overall definately worth seeing, esp if you like Eagles music!

We had a lot of fun there taking pictures.. The surprise was the tiny Church and the hotel. We enjoyed the hotel immensely. Don't miss the famous hotel if you go to Winslow.

If you're an Eagles fan then you will want to stop at this "famous" corner. It's nice that a small town can create a tourist attraction from song lyrics! As I was driving around Winslow on my way to the corner, I figured that my wife and I would be the only visitors. I was surprised at how many other people took time to stop by this iconic corner. It's a terrific tribute to Glenn Frey and the Eagles and worth the time to stop by!

This is tough to write. The actual homage that has been created is really well done and very engaging - but Winslow is the 4th most dangerous city in Arizona and you can really feel it as you are driving in. I was by myself and felt as though I had to keep my head on a swivel the entire time, rather than enjoy the spot. Just beware and be safe.

If you know the musical group The Eagles then you know this site. Famous for being mentioned in the lyrics of the song Take It Easy, written by Jackson Brown and Glen Frey. Also a popular spot on Route 66.

Loved this Town and all the Route 66 memorabilia. Great meal and beverages at RelicRoad Brewery and fun staff!

Until this week I didn't even know this National Treasure existed. Needed a place to stay, wanted something new and different so here I am. The first thing that struck me is the absolute friendliness and wonderful Navajo people I've met. Each and every person has been a wonderful host and perfect example of what Americans should be. The Canyon is breathtaking and worth visiting. Yesterday evening we stopped at all the south overlooks, today we went to the north side overlooks. Each and every stop was a treat for this traveling beardedrvtech. I hope my photos do shine justice to the Canyon. This morning I booked a jeep tour with Beauty Way Jeep tours. Our guide Arianna was knowledgeable, sincere and willing to answer our questions. He family owns the property in front of Antelope ruins. We actually had fry bread right where he ancestors act 100s of years ago. I highly recommend you give Canyon de Chelly a visit.

Visited this park as part of a northern Arizona tour my husband and I decided to take. We absolutely loved it! The White House Trail was open, and while challenging, it was completely worth it. Each of the overlooks had a unique view. I saw a few reviews complaining about "panhandlers" at the overlooks, but honestly, everyone was extremely polite, willing to share the local history and their personal stories, and definitely NOT pushy in any way. I felt it added to the experience where I was definitely a visitor in their land. We visited at the end of September, the weather was perfect and the park was not crowded. I differently recommend!

Friendly staff at the visitor center. I recommend driving the saw rim all the way to the end to the vista point then stopping at all view points on the way back. Beautiful views, especially in late afternoon with the sun to the west. It’s also free.

A cultural treasure. The local guides add to the richness of this incredible place. An overnight stay is well worth the time.

Wow. Super quiet all along the canyon rim. Not crowded in early May, but still a bit of a chilly wind. Spectacular views at pull offs with decent parking situation.

Unbelievably beautiful! Definitely worth exploring but keep a close eye on small children and pets- extremely high cliffs and no barricades in most areas. High winds possible- we froze to death while visiting here in March- dress accordingly.

One of the most beautiful places I visited while working in the Navajo Nation and touring the southwest USA. Highly recommend doing a Native-led tour IN the canyon, which I ran out of time to do.

a bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it. We went on a partially cloudy afternoon, and the shifting light made the scenery even more dramatic, with layers of mountains, sky, and city unfolding beneath us. The ride itself is smooth and scenic, and once at the top, the short trail along the ridge to the cabin was breathtaking — one of the highlights of the visit. Do keep in mind that temperatures can drop quickly at dusk, even in the middle of summer, so bring an extra layer if you plan to linger for sunset.

Beautiful! Lift operators were knowledgeable and friendly. All the staff were very helpful. We only managed a hike up to the Kiwanis cabin due to time constraints but it was beautiful. I would recommend bringing something a little more sturdier than running shoes to hike in, a water bottle and be prepared for altitude. My wife experienced a little bit of sickness. Her first time experiencing it. Other than that I highly recommend this tour.

The tram ride takes about fifteen minutes and the views along the way are incredible, especially the deep canyons below. Our tram guide was entertaining and shared a lot of interesting facts during the ride. At the top the altitude is around 10250ft and it is an amazing place to watch the sunset and see the entire city light up afterward. It does get very cold once the sun goes down. We visited on a Saturday evening and the wait for the return tram was around forty minutes since many people leave right after sunset. Overall the experience was worth the price and made for a memorable evening.

Must have tickets in advance. Arrive 2 hours early. If possible have 1 member of your party wait in line and others walk around. Bring layers, it is cold at night. Packed in to the tram 🚊, hard to see out. On the way down folks were nice and let the kids be by the window. Need a reservation for the restaurant. Go during the day so you can hike. We went up when it was light, then down after sunset. If you looked hard, saw lights in the distance from the balloon fesita glow.

Hiked up La Luz trail and decided to get the tram down. Was pleasantly surprised that it was very close by the end of the trail and easily visible. I was almost out of battery on my phone without internet service and was pointed to the password to purchase the ticket on their website. I was afraid my phone was going to die to reached out to another employee (very nice lady) that told oh no worries we can do it right here in the booth! That was nice of her I was not told that there was any other option and was getting frustrated. Lost the tram bcs of it. The next one took about 13 minutes. Nice little ride down. At the gift shop I also had a great experience and was allowed to charge my phone :)

Amazing experience! Highly recommend taking this tram 🚋 for stunning views! ⛰️ 🤩 ☁️ We had the earliest reservation and checked in at 8:45am. We were the first group to go up around 9:17am. Window🪟 view was great for photos and videos. 📸 🎥

We had such a wonderful experience with the staff. They were attentive to our young kids and gave them a sticker before we boarded the tram. We went on a Saturday, arrived 10 mins before our time window and were the first in line. On our way back, we didn’t wait more than 15 mins.

They are mostly closed for the gov shutdown, but one campground was open still. There was access to one hiking trail from the campground, Tyuonyi Overlook was accessible. Pueblo Trail is closed. Visitors center is closed. The overlook is incredibly scenic. Just do not expect to see the cave homes right now.

Super fascinating national monument showcasing the natural landscape of the area and the Pueblo culture/dwellings. Nice gift shop and visitor center too. Unfortunately the Alcove House was closed for repairs this summer when I visited, but I did the Pueblo Loop trail and definitely recommend as it goes by the majority of the cliff dwellings, some of which you can even climb up into via ladders.

🤩 what an underrated gem!! Beautiful and easy hikes to see the ruins. Climbing the ladders to the Alcove house was the highlight. Parking lot was full by noon. But there’s so longer, harder back packing trails. Don’t let this one slip by!!

It was such a privilege to visit this site in 2023. There was a visitor center with a small but great museum- including a gift shop. The grounds are open to guided tours and individual exploration. You can also get up close to the wall dwellings via some ladders which was super cool! 20/10, an important cultural site that has a lot to interact with.

I visited Bandelier National Monument and was honestly amazed by the beauty and history of the place. The cliff dwellings and trails were incredible to explore, and the scenery felt peaceful and untouched. The only downside was the limited parking and the shuttle schedule, which made getting there a bit tricky. Still, it was totally worth it for the views and experience.

I really enjoyed this park, it could easily be argued to be included as a national park the historical aspect and Native American dwellings in this area, makes it unique, especially the cliff dwellings. Unfortunately the Alcove House Trail was closed when I was there so I missed out on one of the main sites to see.

A relaxing environment with lots of hiking trails, camping, small restaurant and gift shop. A great park for families to spend the day exploring the ancient Pueblo homes and enjoying the Frijoles Canyon. Your park entry also includes entry to the nearby Valles Caldera

Will return. What a treat: we enjoyed two hours private tour at the museum of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986). She's my top three artist. I even bought a matching flowery dress when I went to see one of her exhibits in New York a few years ago. This museum was opened in 1997. It's small (Santa Fe is a small town!) and the paintings they've, are rather small too. I think the museums in New York and DC have far more magnificent 气势磅礴 works of hers. "Mother of American modernism", was born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, University of Virginia and the Teachers College, Columbia University. Her eventual husband Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was a photographer and modern art promoter, who held an exhibit in New York for her in 1917. He would divorce his fellow photographer/artist Emmeline Obermayer in 1924 and married O'Keeffe the same year. The frames: they look thin. The docent said they were designed by the artist herself. Reportedly can prevent bugs as well as wine (they do rent out the museum space). O'Keeffe was often the harshest judge of her own work, and even went so far as to destroy paintings that did not meet her standards. In some cases this was because a work had been damaged-including damage that she considered to have been done by careless conservators. She had been visiting New Mexico (Santa Fe, Taos, etc.) during her marriage. After his death in 1946, she soon moved to New Mexico for the rest of her life; spending the last few years in Santa Fe and passed away there. Among list of artists who enjoyed success and recognition during their own lifetime, she was the only female artist among the 10 men: Pablo Picasso Leonardo da Vinci Michelangelo Claude Monet Pierre-Auguste Renoir Rembrandt Salvador Dalí Andy Warhol Georgia O'Keeffe Henri Matisse Paul Cézanne Till 1986, her works fetched the highest amount at the auctions, among female artists. Now her works only trail behind Yayoi Kusama (1929-) and Joan Mitchell (1925-92), one is still alive and one dead six years after her. She enjoyed cooking, perhaps was also the farm to table pioneer. The exhibits of her kitchen wears, pots, pans and notebooks are hers but her Leica camera on display wasn't, the museum explained that she used the same model. Love the honesty. One thing I thought she was above the rest was she didn't sign her works, because she believed her distinctive and unique style would be easily recognized. Which is so true. The female docent said, "she said, 'you don't sign your face, do you?'" A little (or a lot) like Marguerite Duras (1914-96), or any elderly person who relies on a much younger companion. O'Keeffe hired an assistant Juan Hamilton (John Bruce; 1946-) in 1973, after suffering vision lose. He was 27, a divorced potter at the time. She left her estate to him, but to avoid lengthy litigation, he gave up much of that estate (houses and paintings ...) because "if he were to fight that fight, he would spend 10 to 15 years, which would be an entire career, and neither Miss O’Keeffe (how he loved to call her) nor he would ever want that." O'Keeffe was captivated by the view of Cerro Pedernal (Flint Mountain), which has been a sacred and significant site to many Indigenous and Hispano communities for thousands of years. O'Keeffe's own immense love and respect for this mountain is exhibited in her numerous depictions of the view from her front yard. According to the docent, her ashes are spread here.

My visit to this museum left me pensive, caught in the quiet gravity of O’Keeffe’s vision - a vision that clings to reality while daring to transcend it. One piece stopped me in my tracks: a gray crucifix pierced by a dark red heart. I stood before it, transfixed. Its stark lines seemed to pulse with unspoken stories-sorrow, sacrifice, perhaps love’s quiet endurance. The painting’s neat composition belied its emotional weight. The museum weaves O’Keeffe’s life into a vivid tapestry. Her robes, and her art supplies are displayed with care. Then there are the bones. Her collection of bones struck me as primal, and profound. The Georgia O’ Keeffe museum isn’t just a collection of art; it’s an invitation to pause, to feel, to question.

I learned so much about Georgia. I loved seeing different stages of her art work. I also loved how many people were there sharing our common love of her art. I liked the way. It was laid out and you could enter different rooms to view different stages. Seeing her art up close, seeing her belongings and her supplies. I just loved this experience. I would highly recommend this museum and BEFORE the house tour. That is how we did it. A lot of the art we saw at the museum played into the tour of her house. The staff were friendly and informative. You like art, then head here.

I did the free audio tour. A lot of information is packed into the audio descriptions, and you actually want to walk faster than the audio tour allows. I encourage you to take a seat on a bench and look at the work while the audio is going. They even have classical music as part of the tour, naming classical music and artists she and Arthur Steiglitz had in their home and listened to while she painted. Every piece is magical, simple or classic, or preeminent Georgia O'Keefe. They have a movie bio of her life playing, and they also have a movie about the Téwa, renamed Pueblo by Spanish colonizers, artists who made various art pieces and wrote letters, between 2023 and 2025, as an answer to Georgia O'Keeffe's cultural appropriation and disrespect of Indigenous traditions while living in New Mexico. It was eye opening and a massive display of basic, approachable , and repairative reparations. And the best part of the exhibit was the Téwa art intermingled with the Georgia O'Keefe pieces that they challenged.

Small, but engaging museum in downtown Santa Fe. The day we visited, a weekday, tickets were available at the door, but best to reserve online, since they can sell out. A 10-minute video upon entry is a really great introduction to the artists life and her 98-year journey to eventually call New Mexico home. The museum foundation is planning to build a larger museum about a block away. All the artwork comes with useful backgrounds on the art and artist, which make the exhibits accessible to all ages. I spent about an hour in the museum and small gift shop, but an ethisiast could draw it iut to 2 hours.

A visit to Santa Fe is not complete without spending time at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Born in Wisconsin, influenced her paintings her entire life. She combines Wisconsin with Santa Fe to paint with a unique blend and style. Making her a true feminist and role model to young women throughout the world.

This museum is beautiful and informative. I was pleasantly surprised at the museum's acknowledgement of the Tewa people and their culture. There were some beautiful pieces by Tewa artists on display also. The staff were all very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

The Inn is located in an incredible location within walking distance of almost anything you would like to do in historic Santa Fe. Parking is convenient and efficient with valet parking included in the amenity fee. The interior of the hotel is clean but a tad dated. While not luxurious, its a beautiful hotel and will please most travelers. The rooms are also clean and comfortable with a cute, plush teddy bear awaiting your arrival. The coffee bar, Crafted, in the hotel is a major plus serving flavorful coffees and tasty pastries. Furthermore, although we didn't visit it during our stay, the "Living Room" in the hotel is a hub of activity serving drinks, lite bites and even has live music. All in all, a pleasant stay in this historic hotel.

As owner of an independent 5-star resort in Asia (Plantation Bay, “a Real Resort with a Real Spa”), I have a lot of sympathy for independent hotels, but felt that I was not correctly treated here. First, the location is very very good, right in the center of Old Santa Fe and surrounded by restaurants and art galleries, some churches. I chose a Vista King, which for about $535 (including a $35 resort fee when there’s no resort to speak of) I assumed would deliver value for money at least in room fittings and view. It turned out that my patio area had no privacy and overlooked a parking lot. So much for Vista. The room itself was very tired-looking, not like the booking.com photo at all, and so was the hotel, with a generally depressing interior appearance, though the outside looks great. Again speaking as a professional hotelier, I would venture the entire hotel hasn’t been remodeled in at least 40 years. The bathroom layout is poor and the fixtures were several plumbing generations old. The bed was comfortable but too high off the floor. Many elements were not consistent with a 4-star description, such as a fireplace with just a candle in it, plain painted-plywood doors and panels, lamps with Daylight bulbs, just one electrical outlet for the credenza holding the refrigerator, the coffee-maker, and a lamp (so to run the coffee-maker I had to unplug the lamp). The staff are pleasant and efficient, which made up a bit, but I felt I was overcharged. If my room was not typical of the hotel, then the front desk staff gave me a “last-to-sell” room on the assumption that as an Asian I wouldn’t know any better. I do know better. I’m going to keep calling out every hotel that gives me an inferior room for the price, and/or an inferior room because of my race.

We stayed here a couple of nights on a business trip so the room was paid for but it was indeed a small room for several family members. The balcony was nice and the view was phenomenal. It's charming but there are a few bugs to work out in the service department. Overall, okay and it is a historic place. Next door has the miraculous staircase that we went to go see. It's walking distance to the beautiful plaza.

The king room was very spacious. We had a corner balcony that looked out over the pool and had a great view of the mountains. Many amenities at this hotel. We used the spa and had fabulous massages and facials. We ate some light bites and had a drink at The Living Room. Staff is friendly and helpful, valet is great and rooms are clean. The location is everything. You are central to all the shops and churches if you stay here. Would book again!

Loretto has been lovingly restored, upgraded, and maintained. It truly is a beautiful Santa Fe style place. The beds were super-comfy with top-quality linens, the bar is delightful with lots of comfy couches and a big, warm fireplace. The pool & hot spa area is modern and offers private spaces. Topping it all off is a truly grand coffee shop, helpful and friendly staff throughout the without hovering or obsequiousness. The restaurant is good for a quick bite, and you're steps away from great dining options. This is now my new 'home' when I come to Santa Fe.

The only positive thing I have to say is there’s free coffee. Otherwise, this was a really strange lodging experience. For how expensive it is, you would expect just a minuscule of luxury. It is listed as “high-end,” but that was absent here. The stay in this hotel was only comparable to living in some sort of cave or hut. The staff was kind, though the tall male host was very odd. The valet also was never at their post and made getting the car a long and unpleasant process. The place doesn’t smell very pleasant, just kind of musty. The lack of any mirror in the room was inconvenient. The IRON had black gunk on it that absolutely RUINED a perfect pair of white pants meant to wear to a wedding… And lastly, they put this cute little stuffed bear on the bed in your room, and don’t tell you that if you take it home, they charge you $35! I slept with that bear for the entirety of my stay just to find out it’s not included, and that they’re going to put it back in the room if I don’t want to be charged. I wonder how many drooled on it before I did. 2/10. Save your money.

The Inn was absolutely wonderful to stay in, and the staff was the best. Hunter helped us upon check in with places to go, and Nikki was great to provide places to have breakfast and Ben served us the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. Even the General Manager stopped what he was doing to help when we accidentally locked the key in our room. It was expensive but the quality was worth it and more. These three, Hunter, Nikki and Ben went above and beyond with their helpfulness and service. if you want the perfect place to stay in Santa Fe, this is the place to be.

Absolutely beautiful views. Walked across one side and came back on the other. Everything was clean. The bridge has places to stop and look out. But you can stop anywhere.

Stunning views from ridge just off the free parking area. However, the longer ridge walk was closed. Walk past the restrooms and picnic areas towards the bridge to walk across the bridge.

GORGEous bridge and view. It’s like the Grand Canyon of NM. West rim trail rocks. People can not stop hurling themselves off the bridge which is brutally sad but still a beautiful area.

It's definitely something worth seeing. I recommend parking on the west side of the bridge. It offers ample parking and restrooms. You can also walk a hiking trail south along the ridge. Dogs must be on a leash at all times.

Was an amazing experience. It was so beautiful. Whatever you do don't walk on the bridge. Pull into the rest stop right across the bridge and walk out to the trail that takes you to it and more.

360 degree of grand view of mesa. Very impressive gorge. Makes you to want learn more about geological origin of Rio Grande Gorge. One should walk on the trail to access better views of the bridge and the gorge.

This bridge offers breathtaking views of the Rio Grande Gorge and the surrounding canyon. I highly recommend walking across the bridge for the best experience. If you’re lucky, you may run into some Big horns. Also, let us not forget about fictional couple, Mickey and Mallory Knox (Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis), having a wedding scene on this bridge!

🎨 A good place to visit enroute to Colorado from Texas. This place has got exactly 10 inverted cars available for painting. 🚗 We got our own paints from Walmart at $2.60 each. If you get from the Merch store here it will be $7.50 so plan accordingly. ⚠️ Take necessary precautions since this place is extremely windy and when you face the opposing wind while someone is spray painting, the paint might just get to your face and body.

Cool place! The guy who sells the paint told me this was an art installation but people broke in and spray painted it, the artist at the time was into spray painting and thus made it what it is today. Super nice people who work there, spray paint is only $7.50. They also have merchandise thats priced nicely as well. If you're road tripping this is cool to stop and look at, I didn't see any lights so I wouldn't recommend coming at night.

This is awesome! Very iconic stop on Route 66 that absolutely lives up to its reputation. This is a MUST STOP on Route 66 and if the merch truck and trailer are you can get your paint, shirts, stickers and other memorabilia from them right there on site!

Cadillac Ranch is one of those quirky roadside attractions that perfectly captures the spirit of old Route 66. Located just west of Amarillo, Texas, it features ten vintage Cadillacs buried nose-first in the desert soil, their tail fins reaching toward the sky like a row of colorful sentinels. Layers upon layers of spray paint cover every inch of the cars, creating a constantly changing canvas that visitors from around the world add to daily. It’s free to visit, easy to access, and delightfully weird in all the right ways. Bring a can of paint if you’d like to leave your mark, or simply walk among the cars and take in the vibrant chaos of color and creativity. The wind across the plains, the crunch of gravel underfoot, and the sight of those half-buried Cadillacs make this one of the most iconic and photogenic stops along the Texas stretch of Route 66. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates Americana, art, and the beautifully bizarre.

This is a quick stop, it is right off the freeway and easily accessible. I had a great time taking photos of the Cadillacs and spray painting on the Cadillacs. There was a little bit of paint left there, but if you plan on doing your own creations bring your own paint just to make sure (if you want it to stand out bring a base to put down before your message).

Fun place to visit. It really reminds me of the 7 magic mountain in LV. This place is better because you can buy a spray paint and do graphite on the cars. Definitely worth to stop by but not make it a trip.

If your passing, just stop for the nice brisk walk and take the picture! It's free. Bring your art supplies and add your layer of paint to this fun art installation.

We camped 3 nights at the Juniper Campground! The campsite, restrooms, camp hosts, and wildlife visitors were ALL absolutely delightful!! We did several nice hikes and enjoyed them all!! Instead of the Lighthouse Trail, we decided to make it a loop with Givens, Spicer and Lowry to the Lighthouse and Paseo del Rio! We were glad we did! The Lighthouse portion a of that loop was really the least scenic!! What a wonderful place to explore! Texas State Parks does a GREAT JOB!! Thank you!!

We really enjoyed hiking! We did the CCC Trail and the Rock Garden both were absolutely gorgeous. The Rock Garden was very challenging but definitely had the wow factor! We had a really great time. The roadrunner was so cute such a perfect touch of nature in the park.

Beautiful area. The biking loops were pedally and fun. There’s a bike rack on the lighthouse trail before the steep section. The campgrounds are nice, the one we popped into had water, flushing toilets and showers. We didn’t find out the overnight price. Lots of space on a Monday in November.

Absolutely beautiful state park in America’s second largest canyon. Well preserved and maintained, with a road that goes from the rim—and the visitors center—to the bottom, without too many hairpin turns. There’s even a Trading Post that sells food and drink in the canyon (including ice cream!). In terms of hikes, highly recommend Lighthouse Trail—2.8 miles in and 2.8 back—as well as the big cave at the end of the paved road. Super beautiful, mostly flat, and doable with kids.

My family enjoyed visiting the canyon. The big cave was pretty cool to walk, too. Most of the trails were closed off though. The amphitheater had a show that was pretty neat. The gift shop has tons to choose from. There is plenty of wildlife to walking around

Lots of hiking trails, there were showers and bathrooms at multiple different camp sites. This place gets very hot in the summer. You need to pack at least a half gallon or more per a person. Always bring water for your dog.

Located south of Amarillo Texas, and quite a ways off the beaten path is Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This State Park can give many National Parks a run for the money. What an amazing place. Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States and the park offers wonderful facilities facilities including a cliffside visitors center, gift shops, restaurant, amphitheater, campgrounds including a camp store, restroom and shower, facilities a scenic drive through the park with stunning views of the canyon and miles of hiking trails. We camped in the canyon and had an awesome stay. Palo Duro Canyon State Park was well worth the trip. A must see if you are in the Amarillo area.

Review of the Oklahoma City National Memorial ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars) Visiting the Oklahoma City National Memorial was an incredibly moving and humbling experience. The site is beautifully designed, with powerful symbolism throughout—especially the Field of Empty Chairs, which honors each life lost in the 1995 bombing. The atmosphere is respectful and reflective, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a space for both remembrance and healing. One of the highlights of our visit was speaking with a National Park Ranger on site. His deep knowledge and thoughtful storytelling added a whole new layer of meaning to our experience. The insight he shared about the significance of each part of the memorial helped us connect more personally with the events and the resilience of the Oklahoma City community. It’s clear he is passionate about his role, and it made a real difference in our visit. This memorial is a must-visit for anyone in the area—both to pay respects and to better understand an important part of American history.

Amazing memorial! Since 9/11, it seems this tragedy seems to have been largely forgotten, but this memorial and museum does a great job of reminding us how big this event was. The memorial with the reflecting pool is beautiful and the part with the chairs is heartbreaking once you realize the small chairs represent the children that were killed. And the museum is very informative and the videos very moving. Glad we went and I highly recommend it!

What an incredibly touching memorial that can move the strongest person to tears. You can feel the pain at this memorial with so many innocent young and old lives lost. This was a beautiful memorial to honor those lives lost and those left behind. The outdoor memorial was very well constructed and the museum inside was eye opening and jaw dropping. Worth the experience as you will learn, see and hear actual recordings from that day. 💔

Visiting the memorial and museum was a powerful experience. I was 5 or 6 when this happened and don't have the most vivid memory of it so I'm glad to have visited to more truly understand the gravity of this tragedy. Our country would benefit by everyone visiting to see what happens when we give in to hatred and extremism but also to see the best in us when we come together and stand united.

Such a beautiful tribute to all affected by this horrible event. Planned on just going to the memorial but it was so beautiful that I had to come back the next day to the museum. While at the memorial a ranger came out and gave us a bit of history on the memorial, museum, and some facts about the bombing. I recommend everyone visiting at least once.

The OKC Bombing Memorial and Museum brings us back 30 years this year to one of those moments you'll never forget... the Memorial is beautiful and so beautiful compared to the violence that ripped thru the Heart of the Sooner Nation. The museum well curated and taught me things I never knew about that day.

We were traveling back from the Rocky Mountains and decided to stop and see the memorial. It was absolutely beautiful. We did not have time to see the museum but the gentleman that helped us outside was great about answering any questions we had. Definitely worth the stop! The gateways were very touching.

This is a grand mansion art museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The grounds are inspiring! My favorite is the swing under the giant oak tree. The sun streaming in my face through the leaves was memorable. The art is interesting to view while having a relaxed visit. We bought some goodies in the gift shop. We ate before arriving, but there is a cute little cafe for lunch.

This was an absolutely beautiful museum and garden. I spent about 4 hours wandering around looking at all the paintings and gardens. There are many areas you can have a picnic or relax and there’s something for everyone.

The art and temporary exhibits are great. My favorites are the mansion and the amazing gardens. The gardens are beautiful in spring and summer, but are great in fall and winter too. The staff plants over 22,000 bulbs every year.

Absolutely stunning building, the museum alone is a stunning structure that houses a lot of different art styles and even their garden is a stunning exhibit of art and beauty. Absolutely worth coming and spending a couple of hours here, well worth the drive. Staff were super friendly and plenty of signage and very clean.

This place was so beautiful! From the art to the garden. They have something for all ages. Definitely will be coming back! It would be a great place to take wedding photos’

Philbrook is always an amazing day. The art is beautiful, they are kid friendly and the gardens are gorgeous. They always have fun holiday activities, their staff is kind and they also have discounts for entry for low income families.

The beautiful mansion and grounds, especially the children’s play area, were a highlight of our visit. The gardens were the most impressive feature.

Such an amazing experience that you have here! The art and sculptures on display are super interesting and unique. This is truly an experience like no other! Fun for all ages. Loved the outdoor walking trails. Not too busy either for a Saturday!

The museum is beautiful and the only reason I didn't rate it a 5 is due to the challenge of finding a parking space and bc I didnt actually enter the museum, so I can't review what I haven't experienced. I saw the outdoor flower (art work, not natural flowers) exhibit by the Asian artist (I think Japanese), Oct. 2025. I highly recommend it and will go back since I am from and live in Little Rock, AR, and it's only about three hours away.

What an incredible museum! The architecture and layout are absolutely stunning, and the art collection is top-notch — such a cool mix of classic and modern pieces. We really enjoyed exploring the surrounding trails too; they’re beautiful and well-maintained, with great views of the museum and nature. I’d definitely recommend visiting on a cooler day though, as there’s not a lot of shade on the paths. Overall, a must-see stop in Bentonville!

The buildings and grounds are amazing. The art exhibits not so much. While the museum is free there may be a charge for certain exhibits. The Frank Lloyd Wright house is free but you must get a ticket for a time slot. This information is not readily apparent. The place could definitely use more signage. Did not know you had to take an elevator down 3 levels to get to the entrance. People were wandering around trying to figure out how to get in. There was no sign. If and when you do make it to the entrance lobby be sure to get maps of the museum AND the trails.

Amazing, beautiful, interesting, provocative, unique, FREE! This place lives up to hype and is a MUST in B'Ville! Absolutely worth a vist and few hours! Fantastic for ALL ages and interests. The Frank Lloyd Wright house is monumental find and addition to and an already INCREDIBLE MUSEUM! Also, the outdoor, walking Trail/Art Installation is pretty accessible for folks and so nicely done. Next time we visit, I want to do the Night Walk when the light up the trail, likely making it more fabulous. Oh, and there are REAL Crystals on the trail..no kidding!

I had heard about this museum for years and wanted to go back to the place where I went to college and see this outstanding collection of art. The grounds are so extraordinary, the collection of art is a magnificent curation of American artists with many women and immigrant artists on display. The food was excellent too!

Crystal Bridges Museum is a stunning destination for art and architecture lovers alike. Nestled in a lush natural setting, the museum’s multiple buildings are beautifully designed with outdoor water features and scenic walking paths connecting the spaces. I enjoyed the multi-floor layout for interest (elevators available throughout the entire museum for accessibility.) The permanent collection is impressive, and free to the public. During my visit, the temporary exhibit (Maws) was $15. The museum’s growing collection is thoughtfully curated and beautifully displayed, showcasing both classic and contemporary works.

Thorncrown Chapel is a truly magical and peaceful place nestled in the heart of nature. We visited on a Sunday and arrived during a prayer service. They kindly asked us to remain silent until the service concluded, which we appreciated as it maintained the sacred atmosphere. After the service, we were welcomed inside, given an envelope, and told about the chapel’s fascinating architecture and the vision behind its creation. The setting is incredibly serene sitting quietly inside or around the chapel feels like your soul is connecting with nature and peace. If you’re seeking spiritual calm or simply a beautiful place to reflect, this is it. A quick note: restrooms are located down the path. Also, across from the parking lot on the left side, there’s another small chapel-like structure, but it’s closed to the public best not to try accessing it as it’s chained off. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Eureka Springs a perfect blend of spiritual peace, nature, and inspiring architecture

Thorncrown Chapel is one of the most stunning and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. It’s gorgeous and ever so magical. Designed by E. Fay Jones, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, the chapel is an architectural masterpiece that blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. With over 6,000 square feet of crystal clear glass and a soaring wooden frame, it feels as if the forest is part of the structure itself. The way the light filters through the trees and into the chapel creates a calm, almost spiritual atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting for quiet reflection, appreciation of architecture, or just to enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks, it’s an unforgettable experience. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, Thorncrown Chapel is truly a must-see in Eureka Springs.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Masterpiece in the Woods We stopped at Thorncrown Chapel during our road trip from Texas to New York, and WOW - what an unexpected gem! This place is absolutely breathtaking. The chapel itself is a work of art - nestled right in the middle of the forest with floor-to-ceiling pristine glass walls that make you feel like you’re worshipping among the trees. The way the natural light filters through the towering windows and mingles with the surrounding Ozark forest is nothing short of magical. The architecture is stunning yet humble, and the peaceful atmosphere is exactly what we needed before our big European adventure. Whether you’re religious or not, this space has a way of making you pause and appreciate the beauty around you. It’s the perfect blend of human craftsmanship and nature. If you’re anywhere near Eureka Springs, this is an absolute MUST-SEE. We’re so glad we made the detour - it was hands down one of the most beautiful and serene places we’ve ever visited. Already recommending it to everyone we know!

Thorncrown Chapel is absolutely breathtaking! The architecture blends perfectly with the surrounding forest, creating such a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere. Stepping inside feels almost magical, with the light streaming through the glass and the trees all around you. It’s an experience that’s hard to put into words but definitely worth it. A must-see if you’re anywhere near Eureka Springs!

Thorncrown Chapel! It was an absolutely amazing structure to see! It was designed by E. Fay Jones, who was an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright. It opened in 1980 and has over 6000 ft.² of glass covering 425 individual windows. From April to October they hold two church services every Sunday morning - unfortunately, we weren’t in town for that, but we decided it would be very hard to pay attention to the message – we would be looking around and out the windows the whole time! Ha! Note that Thorncrown is also very accessible to people with mobility issues. It’s a very short walk from a nice parking area to Thorncrown on a nice, stone paved pathway. It was definitely wot a visit if you’re in the area! Heck, what am I saying – we plan a whole road trip just to come see Thorncrown!

A must see. It is free admission and is a beautiful work of art. The serenity of the inside makes you want to linger. The beautiful fall colors on display now is definitely an added bonus!

As a destination wedding photographer based in Puerto Rico, I recently had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Thorncrown Chapel, and I can genuinely say it’s one of the most breathtaking venues I’ve ever worked in. The chapel itself feels like a hidden gem tucked inside the Ozark woods—completely surrounded by trees, flooded with natural light, and built almost entirely of glass. It creates an atmosphere that is peaceful, intimate, and visually stunning from every angle. For couples planning a destination wedding, this venue is incredibly special: the architecture merges perfectly with nature, giving you a ceremony space that looks cinematic and timeless without needing extra décor. As a photographer, I was blown away by how beautifully the light moved through the space, creating soft, clean tones and symmetry that made every photo feel editorial. The surrounding forest, the walkway leading to the chapel, and the reflections on the exterior glass all offer endless opportunities for stunning portraits. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the overall experience is serene, intentional, and perfect for couples who want something unique and unforgettable. If you're considering a destination wedding in the U.S., Thorncrown Chapel is absolutely worth traveling for, and I would be honored to capture more love stories in this magical place.
