Road Trip Planners don't need to fly to Egypt to experience the region known as the Valley of the Sun because this region is located in southwest United States. And going on a Summer Road Trip to Phoenix and Scottsdale ranks as one of the Best Destinations in the U.S.

Why? Because it gives travelers more than 325 sunny days a year! So it's really a year-round destination. Add that to the russet and purple mountains as your constant backdrop, a huge assortment of hotels (including an abundance of world-class resorts, golf courses and spas), a wide choice of sports and activities to enjoy and you begin to understand why so many road trip planners head there for their summer vacations.

Here are some sample trips to the region that others have taken. Consider copying one as the backbone of your own trip while still allowing you to customize it to your specific vision. At the very least, you'll pick up great ideas for your own trip.
