Arizona Dreamin’

In May of this year, I got the privilege of traveling to Arizona to visit my sister and her family. I had a blast and I fell in love with the weather. Alas, all good things must come to an end 💔

On the flight home, a flight attendant came over the intercom to announce they would be turning off the lights because if we looked out the left side of the plane, we could see the Northern Lights!!

Swipe to see what they looked like from the plane! ✈️

Arizona is famous for its stunning landscapes, vibrant sunsets, and unique geological formations. While visiting, don't miss the chance to explore the Grand Canyon, which offers breathtaking views and hiking opportunities. The state's warm weather is ideal for outdoor activities year-round. Travelers can also enjoy the rich Native American culture and delicious Southwestern cuisine. Additionally, witnessing the Northern Lights from a plane is a rare experience, as they are usually best viewed from northern regions. Prepare for your own Arizona adventure by planning a mix of city exploration and nature hikes to fully immerse yourself in the beauty this state has to offer.
