🚙🌄 Arizona Road Trip Recap – Desert Highways, Hidden Stops, and Scenic Drives

I put together a recap of my Arizona road trip — a mix of the places I explored and the landscapes I passed through along the way. From historic landmarks and offbeat attractions to long desert highways, mountain views, and wide-open spaces, this video captures the real feel of traveling across Arizona between destinations.

Rather than focusing on just one stop, this recap brings together the in-between moments that make a road trip special — the driving, the scenery, and the sense of distance that defines Arizona travel.

🗺️ What Makes an Arizona Road Trip So Special

Arizona is a state made for road trips. The landscapes change constantly as you drive — deserts give way to mountains, open highways stretch endlessly ahead, and small towns and landmarks appear when you least expect them.

This trip wasn’t just about the destinations, but about the experience of moving through the state and seeing how vast and varied Arizona really is.

🐾 Traveling Arizona with Simba

- Travelers who enjoy the journey as much as the destination
