If you are interested in vacationing in the beautiful desert landscapes of southwest America, consider a vacation in the scenic Verde Valley Arizona. The area is home to the Arizona Wine Country, a region rich in history. Many visitors visit this area for its awe-inspiring views. The surrounding area is also home to various historic sites and museums. If you are planning a vacation in the Verde Valley, you can make sure you visit the Old Town of Jerome, a historic western town just an hour and a half from Phoenix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verde Valley, located between Sedona, Cottonwood, and Jerome, is an undiscovered gem. Although close to the tourist mecca of Sedona, this valley is surprisingly green. The Verde River is one of Arizona’s last free-flowing rivers, and the area is home to several historical sites and quirky small towns. When visiting the Verde Valley, plan to explore the surrounding area in the spring and fall, when the weather is warm enough to enjoy the natural scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verde Valley has many scenic drives. The Verde River winds through the valley, and you can raft down the Verde River. There are also hiking trails, bird-watching, and fishing. For those interested in wildlife, the Out of Africa Wildlife Park offers one of the most unique wildlife experiences in the country, with lions, elephants, and other wildlife. There are guided tours at this historic park throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verde Canyon Railroad runs through the high desert landscape adjacent to the precious riparian ecosystem of the Verde River. The railroad has operated in the area since 1912 and has been a part of the landscape for more than a century. The scenic excursion is a great way to spend a day with family or friends. It is a unique way to see the Verde Valley in the heart of Red Rock Country. You can take your family and friends for an unforgettable trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yavapai-Apache Nation is located in the Verde Valley, Arizona. This region is home to several tribal communities and has a population of approximately 2,440 enrolled tribal members. Its population is over 750 people. The Apache and Yavapai people speak different languages, which is why the local Indians call them Yavapai and Dil’zhe’e, respectively. The Apache and Yavapai languages are not the same, but both communities are related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verde Valley is also home to the newest city in the area. It’s called Cottonwood and is home to several historic “mom and pop” businesses, as well as four wine tasting rooms. The town’s historic 89A features a plethora of specialty shops and boutiques, and you can take a historic tour of the old town. This is an excellent place to start exploring Verde Valley Arizona and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arizona Desert Botanical Garden was established in 1937 by the Arizona Cactus and Native Flora Society. Today, it is home to more than 50,000 plant plantings and 4,000 taxa, including 379 species of rare plants. Visitors can take a nature hike or ride a horse to see the unique beauty of the area. Arizona’s famous Apache Trail offers a scenic drive through Superstition Mountain. If you are looking for an adventure, consider hiking the Apache Trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
