Phoenix — To celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026, the state Office of Tourism is asking the public’s help to compile the list of the 250 best places to visit in Arizona.
“We’re collaborating with the Arizona America250 Commission to highlight 250 remarkable places across Arizona, from iconic landmarks and hidden gems to must-try restaurants and cultural destinations,” the Office of Tourism wrote.
Nominations can be public spaces, landmarks, favorite shops and restaurants or special events.
Already on the list from Graham County is Eastern Arizona College’s Discovery Park Campus and the Mount Graham Observatory, and from Greenlee County the Greenlee Historical Museum in Clifton.
