Once a small farming town, Phoenix is now a thriving metropolis of over 1.3 million. Phoenix offers visitors world-class shopping and opportunities to see and enjoy many fascinating attractions. And with 325 days of sunshine annually, you'll find no shortage of outdoor activities. South Mountain Park stretches 16,500 acres and offers hikers a great view of the valley. Squaw Peak Park and Camelback are also both very popular hiking areas. Golfers enjoy teeing it up at 200 picturesque golf courses, and sports buffs enjoy watching any one of the professional sports teams that call the Phoenix metro area home.
