			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>why not take advantage of being in the great American Southwest, with its unique and spectacular landscape, and do a day trip or two using Phoenix as your hub? You will easily find a Phoenix cheap hotel located right on Interstate 10, for you to use as a base for your explorations to a few world-class tourist destinations. and one of the true wonders of the world, is the Grand Canyon. If you travel up from Phoenix by car it is about 5 hours away, but it is absolutely feasible as a long day trip. Most people think that just the drive up is a treat in itself, moving as you do from the low desert in Phoenix up to 10,000 feet around the Flagstaff area, and then to a high desert landscape as you jog the last few hours over the Canyon. Be sure and pull over for a few glimpses of the Canyon; from any angle it is a site that is worthy of your expectations, believe me.</p>
<p>Another great side trip from Phoenix is the smallish town of Sedona, Arizona, just a couple of hours away, set amidst amazing red sandstone boulders and with an interesting counter-cultural feel about it. If you are inclined you will find great spas and fine restaurants in Sedona and surprisingly, even a burgeoning wine industry. It is true that prices are a little bit higher in Sedona, but as a destination it is so attractive that many people make the trip all the way from East Coast to visit. For a taste of the Wild West in a place where some of it actually happened, head south from Phoenix to Tombstone, Arizona, site of the OK Corral. There are tours and the town is a real step back in time. &#8220;The Town too Tough to Die&#8221; is probably the closest you will come to an authentic experience of the old West, and it still attracts many visitors.</p>
<p>Arizona is a big state, but you will find within it are easily visited if you are prepared to do a bit of driving through some amazing desert landscapes. Phoenix has reasonably-priced hotels as well as excellent southwestern regional cuisine that you will enjoy while talking over the adventures you had earlier in the day. A Phoenix cheap hotel is a perfect base to explore both the Phoenix area as well as the state of Arizona. You&#8217;ll have your pick of independent motels and hotels, as well as the large chain hotels that you know; either way you&#8217;ll find many Phoenix cheap hotels that fit your budget and are great value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phoenix is now the state capital of Arizona and the only state capital has a population in excess of a million. Located in the Valley of the Sun, it is surrounded by mountains and has a warm, dry climate which many winter visitors enjoy especially amongst the retired community.</p>
<p>Agriculture is so important that it always has a series of dams serving for the irrigation efforts that men have been making in the Valley for hundreds of years and creating this green oasis in the middle of the arid, Arizona desert. A range of tropical fruit are all grown here as are vegetables and specialist items which have thrived in the climate and rich soils of the basin region.</p>
<p>Recently, Phoenix has developed as a leading center for state of the art technology and research companies particularly for those in the communications, aerospace and electronics sectors. The diversified cultural and fast growing population has also produced a wide range of tourist and cultural attractions and tourism has increased suddenly in this friendly climate.</p>
<p>Phoenix is a vibrant mix of old and young vying with each other for attention with the skyline dotted with high-rise office buildings and modern architecture competing with Indian and Spanish-Mexican colonial work and all of it underpinned by a Wild West cowboy feel.</p>
<p>The great outdoors have a very important role for all residents and sport is terribly important with many teams calling Phoenix home including the Phoenix Cardinals for football and the Phoenix Suns for baseball. There are also lots of golf courses for those preferring a sedate sporting activity while the surrounding mountains provide great opportunities for hiking, cycling and horse riding while the dams and rivers supply great water recreation too.</p>
<p>Residents and visitors are able to enjoy lots of attractions and features of interest. There is a world famous zoo, the Phoenix Zoo, which is playing a key role in the preservation and reintroduction of endangered species. Housing over 200 endangered species, the Phoenix Zoo is particularly famous for its collection.</p>
<p>There are also a number of historic areas which are happily preserved as a result of carefully and conscientious management by the city authorities as well as the Arizona Historical Society Museum and numerous endowments and foundations, notably from the Heard family.</p>
<p>Phoenix is a significant destination for everyone who should get an ideal climate to enjoy life all year round. Visitors and residents are able to enjoy a very wide range of pleasures and attractions in a clean and few crimes free city with the natural advantages of the surrounding countryside.</p>
