There is so much to see and so there is so much you could miss when visiting Sedona. Take a few minutes and visit the official Chamber Visitor Center on Forest Road in Uptown and talk to the knowledgeable volunteers and staff who will be pleased to help you.
5. Rincon Mountain Visitor Center

The eastern section of Saguaro National Park.
Reviewed By david-oberpriller - Mesa, United States
This place should actually be listed as "Saguaro National Park - East". Saguaro NP is divided into two sections -- one east of Tucson and one west of Tucson. This review is for the West section. If you are in Tucson, this is a close-by experience of the Arizona Desert. A 30-minute 8-mile loop drive takes you through the foothills of the Rincon Mountains on a well-maintained, one-way, paved road with frequent parking pullouts to allow you to "get into the desert". This loop drive is incredible at sunset as you watch the sun go down over Tuscon and the city lights come on (which is when we did it). I highly recommend it. Visitor center closes before sunset, but the loop drive is open. Though I haven't been to Saguaro NP - West in quite a few years, it is also a nice drive, though on a dirt road.

8. Flagstaff Visitor Center
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 608 reviews
Located in the Historic Train Station, the Flagstaff Visitor Center provides local travel information. Make the visitor center your first stop to make so that you get the most out of your visit to Flagstaff. Pick up local maps and brochures, explore displays on activities in Flagstaff and shop our gift shop while watching trains rumble by out front.

This is located right on the railroad tracks and every time a train would come by, alot we would watch it under the watchful eye of the old grumpy man from the Amtrak station in the same building. I think his mission in life is to yell at as many people as possible to get away from the tracks. We left because we got tired of seeing such bad behavior from an old man. This is not a reflection on the visitor center though, I only bring it up because the buildings are attached.

I travel often to Santa Cruz County, and always stop in to learn what is new in the area. They are connected with local organizations, and often have information on activities that might not be advertised in popular venues.
