Top Natural Landmarks in Arizona

Arizona is home to some of the world's most recognizable natural landmarks, making it a destination that draws visitors from around the globe.

Grand Canyon

Located in northern Arizona, the landscape here is breathtakingly vast, featuring layer upon layer of red rock formations. The South Rim of the site, open year-round, is the most popular area, featuring the greatest number of viewing points and facilities. The North Rim is quieter and closed during winter, offering a different perspective. As for the West Rim, located on Hualapai land, this area features the glass Skywalk.

Antelope Canyon

Located near Page on Navajo land, this slot canyon is famous for its wave-like walls and light beams. The canyon was formed by the long-term erosion of the Navajo Sandstone by floodwaters. Its most iconic feature is the phenomenon of beams of sunlight streaming directly down through narrow gaps in the canyon walls, particularly during midday hours from April to September.

Horseshoe Bend

Accessible by car from Antelope Canyon, this nearly perfect horseshoe-shaped river bend was naturally carved by the Colorado River through the sandstone plateau. The viewpoint offers a breathtaking vista overlooking the Colorado River as it makes a 270-degree turn within the deep canyon.

Monument Valley

Located on the border of Arizona and Utah, this iconic landscape has appeared in numerous Western films. Its most striking features are the massive sandstone buttes and mesas rising dramatically from the vast desert plains. Visitors can explore the valley via the 17-mile Valley Drive scenic loop by car or by taking a guided Navajo Jeep tour.

Saguaro National Park

Located near Tucson, this park protects the giant Saguaro cactus, which is native only to the Sonoran Desert. It is split into two districts separated by the city of Tucson.
