    Arizona: From Red Rock Country of Sedona to the sandstone towers of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park to summer escapes like Pinetop-Lakeside, you’re sure to experience something uniquely Arizona.

And the sun shines in Phoenix and Tucson 85% of the year, even more than Florida and Hawaii! Reach out directly to the park for possible restrictions, travel advisories and information about how to camp safely.  Check the individual state for the latest information on COVID-19 related announcements.
