Leigh Wilson is a travel blogger and freelance writer from Moline, Illinois. Travel has been her passion for as long as she can remember. Her parents loved traveling and had an RV when she was small. Her dad was a door-to-door Kirby vacuum salesman, so she often traveled with him on school breaks and summers. In 2017, After a 20-year marketing career, Leigh set out on a 4-month road trip with her Airedale Terrier, in search of a new town to call home. Leigh has always loved Arizona, and upon arrival in Tucson, she felt like she was home. When she's not writing or traveling, you'll find Leigh out hiking the many trails around Tucson. Writing this book has been an excellent opportunity for her to explore the deepest corners of her new home state. Every time she leaves home, the diversity of Arizona landscapes and attractions continues to amaze her.

This guidebook is packed with hundreds of Arizona's best destinations organized by theme, so readers can decide what to do and then find where to do it.
