A welcome from Dan
Come for the scenery.
Feel right at home.
I’m so glad you’re coming to stay. I’ve spent 25 years exploring Northern Arizona and collecting the places I love to share. These are my personal recommendations—the spots I’d send a friend.
Find a favorite breakfast, wander the forest, or make a day of the red rocks and the Grand Canyon. Pick a few outings before you arrive, and leave a little room for discovery.
See you under the pines,
Dan
