Martin Auto Museum 🏎️✨
I don't know a lot about cars but I love the history of them and all the info. They all were beautiful. Each car had a stand in front of it displaying info about the vehicle. The price was very reasonable to get in and everyone working there was so nice.
We really appreciate being able to not only touch but sit in them to get the full experience. If it weren’t due to hunger striking we would have been here even longer. The staff was friendly and they were walking around in case we had questions.
The place is also very clean and well kept. There is also a nice small arcade and gift shop. I would recommend for everyone.

OdySea Aquarium, Arizona, USA
#AquariumTravel #AmericaTravel #Aquarium #America #PlacesToVisitForAnimalLover #UnderwaterAnimals
Location: OdySea Aquarium, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
This is the largest aquarium in the Southwest of America. There are more than 300 species of aquatic animals, more than 6,000 aquatic animals. Strange-looking aquatic animals like turtles are thought to be from ancient times. They look very strange.
We went inside. The stairs were surrounded by glass. We could see aquatic animals in all directions. It was like going through an underwater tunnel. Even in the bathroom, we could see animals swimming. This is one of the most interesting aquariums in the world.
The location is in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian community in Scottsdale.
Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
You can book online or buy tickets at the front.
Hello! Happy Time

Chamber Ostrich Festival
There are many large-scale events in the United States, and I was lucky enough to participate in this amusement park event.
Many of the rides inside look super fun🎠🎡
They have an all-you-can-eat package for about $20, and if you don’t buy a package, you can also spend $3 to play a single facility.
Overall, it really looks like a scene in an American movie! It’s worth a visit🤩

At Taliesin West, visitors have the opportunity to delve into Wright's visionary world, exploring how he designed living spaces in harmony with the desert environment. From windows and flooring to furniture arrangements, every detail reflects his human-centered approach to architecture.

An Amazing Sunset Hike in Arizona
#northamericatrip
Arizona’s sunsets are legendary, and there’s no better way to experience them than on a scenic hike as the day transforms into a kaleidoscope of color. Hiking at sunset combines the adventure of the trail with the peaceful magic of golden-hour light, making it an unforgettable experience.
One of the best places for a sunset hike is Cathedral Rock Trail in Sedona. This steep but short climb rewards hikers with panoramic views of the surrounding red rock formations, glowing in fiery shades of orange and red as the sun dips lower. The rocks seem to come alive in the changing light, creating a surreal and spiritual atmosphere.
For a more desert-centric sunset, head to Pinnacle Peak Trail in Scottsdale. The trail winds through the Sonoran Desert, offering stunning views of iconic saguaro cacti silhouetted against a vibrant sky. The warm hues of the sunset paired with the cool evening breeze create an ideal environment for soaking in the beauty of Arizona’s unique desert landscape.
Another excellent choice is the Doe Mountain Trail in Sedona. The flat mesa at the summit provides a perfect vantage point to watch the sunset over endless layers of red rock cliffs and distant mountains.
As you hike back under the soft twilight glow, don’t forget to pause and enjoy the serenity of the desert night setting in. A sunset hike in Arizona isn’t just a trek—it’s an intimate connection to nature’s artistry, leaving you in awe long after the last light fades.

White tank Montain
There are several trails to walk along. From the entrance, you may have to pay a small fee and we chose the waterfall trail. When we went in January, the weather was 15 degrees with sunshine. It was easy to walk on the concrete trail. There were convenient restrooms and a beautiful view surrounded by cacti. It is a trail where we saw small children and people walking their dogs. We came on a weekday and there were quite a few people. I think if it was a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, there would definitely be a lot of people.

OdySea Aquarium is so beautiful!
When buying tickets, you can choose to buy tickets for the aquarium, alien hall, butterfly hall, etc.
It is more time-saving and convenient to buy tickets in advance.

Rediscovering Life's Sweetness: Revelations Amidst Childlike Joy 🚲❤️
In childhood, bicycles represented freedom, joy, and the thrill of discovery. As adults, we recall our carefree rides with a sense of nostalgia. Jean-Paul Sartre's philosophical musings, Ivan Bunin's romantic entanglements, and Bertrand Russell's reflections—all immortalized through their bicycles. Today, with a bicycle by my side, I roam @civanaresort, exploring Arizona's splendor with youthful delight. What childhood memories do your bicycles unlock? #Civana #CivanaResort #Arizona
