Does Arizona sell 50% vape juice? I know Utah will only sell up to 35 and just curious if Utah would sell 50??

Recently moved to tolleson, and am looking for an area out in the sticks to target practice. Any info would be appreciated.

My friend and I were at the desert botanical garden and saw this from one of the trails and can’t figure out what it is.

I love Arizona

At traffic stops … when a citizen let you know they have a fire ….. at any point do you guys ask the owner if he has any proof thats it’s his/her gun ( do Arizona citizens need some form to show that the gun is in there name) ????

Hello, does anyone know if there are any fall colors still visible in Payson/Mogollon Rim/Sedona/Oak Creek/Mt Lemmon/elsewhere this weekend? Thanks!

I'm visiting Las Vegas from Canada at the end of this month. We're planning to drive to South rim of the Grand Canyon and stay there for a night. I was looking for a place to stay but everything is too expensive near the park. Lodges are about $300 usd. Also other people mention that I should be able to find a room in Williams but we drive from Las Vegas so we don't want to drive 1 more hour for a hotel.

So we found these two amazing and free campgroubs but the thing is we do not have a tent so we're thinking to rent a minivan and sleep in there for the night.

The problem is if we can really find a spot at night there. Please share your opinions if you have similar experience or any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Hope everybody is doing OK today. A bit of sunshine and some time buzzing around on a bike made Jessie smile.

By the way, know what would make her smile even more? Seeing all her buddies from her last post a few days ago... or meeting new pup/kits/whatevers...

Edit: In case anybody is concerned, Jessie is wearing a special harness and this is a dog basket with a clip-in for her harness and a safety strap. She's comfortable and can move around but she can't jump out. She's very safe.

Hello fellow campers, I just arrived in Arizona, near Phoenix. I sleep in the bed of my truck with a canopy, usually the tailgate down. I'm worried about snakes or other creepy crawlies getting in at night. Should I be concerned and keep the tailgate shut when I'm sleeping? Thanks in advance!

I've never been to either of these cities. I've read about some things to do in Jerome such as ghost tours, but what else would you recommend for a long weekend? There seems to be lots of good places to eat and drink. What other activities outside of that is there to do? Also, would you recommend staying in cottonwood or Jerome?

Seems that flying into Phoenix is going to be the way to go. Is that the case?

I've seen people saying that it's illegal to shoot Tannerite on all public land; is this true?

if so, where is it legal to shoot?

If it's relevant to the answer: I'm down in Maricopa county.

I’m planning my first hike in the area since last year. Would love to go for a full day next week, I’m thinking of doing the Black Top Mesa trail (from Peralta) plus the Weaver’s Needle Access trail.

I can’t find any specifics of the fire area. Would this trail be open? If so, is it in the middle of a burned area?

An alternative would be doing the East half of the Superstition Ridgeline Trail as an out and back from Carney Springs, if that was less affected. If neither is good currently I’ll just avoid the Superstitions for this time.

Evening -

Does anyone recommend a "reasonably" priced hot springs resort? The two of us are flying into Phoenix in mid-December for a few nights and are looking for a low-key spot to hang out in hot water and unwind. An area with good food, some hiking, or something fun in the local area.

For reference, this is one of our all-time favorite spots. Ojo Caliente | Ojo Spa Resorts - Ojo Caliente, Taos; Ojo Santa Fe, New Mexico . Most places that have come across my search engine are $1,500-2,000/night. We are looking to spend a few hundred a night.

Cheers

Hello! I’m in search of suggestions for a long weekend trip within a few hours of Phoenix airport. It will be a group of couples, 30s-40s. We are looking for a small town feel with a decent selection of bars (dives bars are a plus). Ideally we would like to rent a house with a nice view to just do some relaxing, but be somewhat close to town. Planning for late February timeframe, but weather doesn’t really matter. Prescott and Cottonwood have peaked our interest. Appreciate any thoughts or ideas!
