Our Story

Getaway Arizona started with a simple idea: Arizona has far more to offer than what most travel guides show. The state is filled with breathtaking landscapes, quiet trails, quirky small towns, scenic backroads, and unique stays — but finding the best spots often requires digging, research, and local know-how.

This project was built to make all of that easier.

Instead of generic recommendations, Getaway Arizona focuses on curated, experience-driven travel ideas that help you discover places worth your time… not just the places everyone already knows. From Sedona to the Sonoran Desert, from mountain cabins to desert casitas, every guide is designed to help you plan a meaningful getaway — whether it’s a solo retreat, a couples’ escape, or a quick weekend adventure with friends or family.

Travel planning should feel simple and exciting. That’s why each guide highlights the best things to do, where to stay, scenic stops, planning tips, and hidden gems that make Arizona unforgettable.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help people experience the beauty, variety, and personality of Arizona through well-researched travel guides that focus on:

  • Authentic destinations

  • Unique and memorable stays

  • Scenic drives and outdoor adventures

  • Hidden gems and underrated towns

  • Simple, stress-free weekend planning

If it’s not special, scenic, or genuinely worth visiting — it won’t make the list.
