Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix sprawls across Arizona's Sonoran Desert, ringed by dramatic mountain ranges and connected by major interstates. I-10 runs east-west through the city center, linking Los Angeles and Tucson, while I-17 heads north toward Flagstaff. The Loop 101 and 202 freeways circle the metro area, connecting Scottsdale, Tempe, and other suburbs. Sky Harbor Airport sits just three miles from downtown via I-10. South Mountain Park covers over 16,000 acres within city limits, making it one of the largest municipal parks in America.
