Entertaining Phoenix City Tours

Whether you're a brand-new visitor to Phoenix, or an old-timer at the attractions of sixth most populous city in the U.S., the four-hour Phoenix city tours help you understand this city's attributes. The multiple stops you make include the Tempe Town Lake, Arizona State University, Old Town Scottsdale, scenic perspectives, Chase Field, which is home to Major League Baseball's (MLB) Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Arizona Capitol Building.

According to the 2010 census, 1.4 million people live in Phoenix and 4.2 million reside in the Phoenix metro area, named the "Valley of the Sun." Developed in 1861 at the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers, Phoenix is the home of several known U.S. notables, such as the first woman Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Senator John McCain, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and Senator Carl Hayden, who maintained the distinction of serving the U.S. Senate for the longest time in the early and mid-1900s with constant service between March 4, 1927 and January 3, 1969.

Historic exhibits at the Arizona Capitol Museum, which are on the Phoenix city tours, detail the culture and history of the 48th state. Artifacts from the USS Arizona, one of the U.S. Naval vessels sunk during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, are on display. Erected in 1898, the Arizona State Capitol Building was constructed to prove to the national that the Arizona Territory was deserving of statehood status. It's made from products native to Arizona, such as the lava rock called malapai, granite and copper.

Phoenix ATV Tours Are Enjoyable and Exhilarating

Succumb to a huge rush from the power ride you get while stabbing the throttle of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) for two or three hours on Phoenix ATV tours. Guided tours or adventures where you're on your very own are offered through this Arizona outdoor fun. Operating an ATV is so addicting that once you take one of these tours, you just may prefer to buy one and park it in your very own garage at home.

An all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, resembles a four-wheel version of a motorcycle. Resemblances include handle bars that the driver uses to steer the vehicle and a seat in the center that the driver straddles and sits upon while driving the rig. Like a motorcycle, the engine's throttle and brakes are positioned on the handle bars. However, ATVs are a lot more steady than motorcycles, because they have a minimum of four wheels (the first ATVs came out with three wheels). There are even ATVs with six wheels. Most all ATVs are permanent four-wheel drive vehicles. The tire pressure in all ATV wheels is low, giving them an excellent capacity to maneuver over rugged terrain and over soft, sandy ground-- just the kind of land that you find in a desert.

Most of today's ATVs consist of automatic transmissions and that's the only kind of vehicle that you'll find on Phoenix ATV tours. So, driving them is easy. You just sit on an ATV, start the engine, squeeze the throttle and turn the handle bars left or right to steer it. If you're familiar with brakes on a bicycle, you're also an ace at using the brakes of an ATV.

Some Awesome Phoenix Activities!!

On your trip to the "urban heart" and capital of the Grand Canyon State, remember that the Phoenix activities offered to you don't stop at just tours of the city (of course, they exist, too).

The desert is perfect to explore, with its unique flora, peculiar wildlife and picturesque scenes. But, the dry air supplies a perfect option for some nighttime Phoenix activities, namely a Star Gazing Tour from Phoenix. From the open desert, you enjoy astonishing images through a strong telescope of galaxies, stars and planets that are light years away. The only demand is that you get far enough outside the city lights of Phoenix and then just kick back and watch the stellar show above you.

For three and a half hours, you can not only see the largest planet of our solar system, Jupiter, but you'll have the capacity to identify several of its moons. Speaking of moons, swing the telescope toward Saturn and you'll witness its impressive rings and several of Saturn's 62 moons. There's galaxies, comets, moon craters and novas to seek in the night sky. It's an intergalactic adventure from the many Phoenix activities that you're sure to enjoy.
