Getaway for a weekend. We decided to gather a list of the best day trips from Phoenix that are less than 4 hours away. The current state of reality has been rough. Luckily, we have plenty of beautiful places near the Valley to hide for a weekend.
Grand Canyon
Drive Time: 3.5 hrs
Grand Canyon is definitely the #1 day trip destination near Phoenix. It is breathtaking year-round and the national park offers you amenities that will make your trip more enjoyable. Be sure to check with the Park page for any alerts and closures in advance.
Sedona
Drive Time: 2 hrs
Most Sedona attractions and businesses are open following CDC guidelines, so you can expect a fruitful day trip from Phoenix if you choose to come here. With over 400 miles of trails in total and a town full of unique eateries and bars, we guarantee you will not want to leave when Monday arrives.
Montezuma Castle National Monument
Montezuma Castle Rd, Camp Verde, AZ
Drive Time: 1.5 hrs
Can you imagine living inside a cliff? The Montezuma Castle is a must-go if you’ve never been there. This old relic is a residence carved directly into a limestone cliff by the native American tribe Sinagua. The Montezuma Castle was also one of the first national monuments in the United States.
