For most visitors, when they think of
Arizona, they think of the Grand Canyon.
Located entirely in northern Arizona,
Grand
Canyon National Park encompasses almost 300 miles of the Colorado
River and adjacent uplands. Over countless centuries the river has cut
away the rock to create one of the most spectacular examples of erosion
anywhere in the world. The Grand Canyon is unmatched in the
incomparable vistas it offers to visitors as they look over the rim of the
canyon. Grand Canyon National Park is a World Heritage Site.

Dining Suggestions
Black Canyon
Bylers Amish Kitchen
- If you are making the drive between Phoenix and Flagstaff, and it is
meal time, get off the interstate at Black Canyon City and enjoy a meal at
Bylers Amish Kitchen. They specialize in home cooking, and have pretty
good baked goods. The restaurant is located on the east side of the
business loop, and their number is 623.371.9330
Green Valley
La Placita Family Restaurant
For good and authentic Mexican food, be sure to stop by La Placita for a nice
menu of Mexican favorites. Located at 99 West Esperanza Boulevard in Green
Valley Mall. Phone: 520.625.2111.
Nogales
Zulas
Restaurant
This is my favorite restaurant in Nogales. It is about the closest you can
get to traditional food for the area, and the best place around for pies.
George and Tita Papachoris are the owners and they do everything they can
to make sure your meal - and your visit - are enjoyable. 982 North Grand
Avenue, Nogales, AZ 85621. Phone: 520.287.2892.
Scottsdale
Rusty Spur Saloon
- Since 1951 this place has been famous and known for their hospitality and
music, with live music performances four afternoons and six nights a week.
The building was constructed in 1921 and housed the Farmer's State Bank of
Scottsdale from 1921 until 1933. The bank vault remains in place and has
been converted to a refrigerated unit for beverage storage. The building is
a registered historic landmark. When you walk through the swinging doors you
are taking a step back in time. The rusty Spur is an Old West saloon
offering rustic charm, good food, live entertainment, and a full bar. The
Rusty Spur is located at 7245 E. Main St. in Scottsdale near the corner of
Brown and Main Streets in Old Town Scottsdale. 480.425.7787.

Tubac
Tubac has a variety of locally
owned restaurants. One of my favorites is the Tubac
Country Inn. Most are open for for both lunch and dinner.
De Anza Restaurante & Cantina
This interesting little place is about a block off of the main area
of the town. They have a nice menu, and is an especially nice place to
sit out on the patio and enjoy a leisurely lunch. Located at 14 Camino
Otero in the Tubac Historic Zone. 520.398.0300. I highly recommend this
place, Jim.
Just north of the old town on the access road is the Tubac
Golf Resort. A great place for an enjoyable lunch is at the Stables Restaurant
where you can sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch while watching the golfers finish
their round on the interesting 18th hole which is surrounded by water. The
restaurant is also open for breakfast and dinner. One Otero Road, 520.2211. www.tubacgolfresort.com
