A sweltering city on the northern edges of the Sonaran Desert, Phoenix is a great city of diversity, art and culture that routinely hits over 100 degrees in the summer months.

This oceanfront city in Mississippi offers a wide choice of casinos, popular eco-tourism options and a touching memorial for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

The big skies welcome visitors for year-round outdoor activities: spring rafting, summer camping, fall hiking and winter skiing.

Head east from the big-city environment of Manhattan to parks, museums and beaches. Enjoy the mix of affluent and laid-back communities on this long island.

Culture and nature converge in this diverse park located in the heart of the city.
