WHEN YOU GO

Friends of Arizona Highways offers a variety of ways to explore the wonders of Arizona. Photo Workshops led by our master contributing photographers provide picture takers of all skill levels with hands-on instruction to help them take photos like those in the magazine. New Photosampler Tours visit more scenic spots than Photo Workshops, and they offer plenty of tips from the accompanying photographer. Friends Backpacking Tours focus on Arizona's most popular destinations. Scenic Tours with Ray Manley are organized primarily for mature adults.
