Arizona is also known as the "Grand Canyon state", this is mostly due to the fact that the biggest and best-known attraction in Arizona is the world famous Grand Canyon, which is a beautiful and very steep-sided gorge near the Colorado River, in Northern Arizona. Considered one of the seven wonders of the world, the canyon is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park, which aside from being one of the first such national parks within the country, was often frequented by President Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt himself.
At the present time we are sorry but we do not have any holiday rentals available in Arizona.

Almost 280 miles long, almost 20 miles wide and over a mile deep, the canyon has been formed by the Colorado river over millions of years to create one of the worlds most beautiful natural attractions. The Grand Canyon national park protects the almost 2000 square mile area and leaves it just as stunning as nature intended.
