This is the most bucket list-worthy adventure in AZ, HGTV says. Can you guess it?
Some people have "visit all 50 states" on their bucket lists, while others have specific "bucket list-worthy" items they want to do in certain states. Bucket list or not, Arizona is a vacation hotspot. Visitors enjoy relaxing by a resort pool in Scottsdale, hiking Cathedral Rock in Sedona or boating in Lake Havasu City. Home & Garden Television put out its list of the essential activities and sites in each state. Some attractions and activities are below the radar and some are the popular must-dos in every state. So, what is Arizona's bucket list excursion? We bet you can guess it. Unsurprisingly, a visit to Grand Canyon National Park is Arizona's bucket list adventure — and for good reason! There's so much to do at the Grand Canyon and nearby town of Williams. The Grand Canyon had the third most visitors of any national park in the United States in 2024. More than 4.9 million came to the park. HGTV recommends experiencing the Grand Canyon from the water. Float through the geological wonder on the Colorado River with an adrenaline-pumping white water adventure or take in the breathtaking views slowly on a smooth water rafting trip. Consider adding the extra mileage to travel to the North Rim, which rises 1,000 feet higher than the tourist-y South Rim. There are no helicopter rides or shuttle buses, just wild animals, forests and meadows. On the other side is Grand Canyon Railway, a heritage train that takes people from a historic depot in the Route 66 city of Williams to the Grand Canyon's South Rim. The train ride is 4½ hours round trip, and riders have three hours to explore the South Rim.

This RI downtown was named one of the most charming in the U.S. by HGTV. It's not Newport
This coastal Rhode Island downtown is one of the best in the U.S., according to HGTV, and it's not Newport. HGTV named Wickford, a village in the town of North Kingstown, Rhode Island as one of the most charming small-town downtown areas in America. "Nothing charms like a small downtown that beckons visitors with historic architecture and boutique shops or local culture and tree-lined streets," HGTV said. Here's what the Home & Garden Television network had to say about this Rhode Island village. When it comes to Wickford, HGTV recommended taking in the architecture and visiting the shops. What HGTV said about it: "Dating back to 1709, historic Wickford Village was originally a fishing village, but today it charms visitors and locals alike with picturesque waterfront streets, pastel-colored Colonial-era homes and nautical views across Wickford Harbor. There are a lot of ways to explore Wickford, too, whether on foot as you stroll the historic village, or by kayak or bike, both of which can be rented by the hour or day. Stop in delightful shops like Different Drummer or Green River Silver Co., explore art galleries and dine at the tempting seafood restaurants along Main Street. For winter fun like snowtubing and skiing, visit nearby Yawgoo Valley. There's a water park there for summer adventures." Rin Velasco is a trending reporter.
