  Arizona's arid climate and abundant sunshine attract both retirees and tourists to the state. Along with the stunning Grand Canyon, visitors can explore far-ranging deserts, rugged mountains, cacti forests and growing cities like Phoenix and Tucson. The region offers numerous outdoor recreation opportunities for active seniors, such as hiking, golf and fishing. Several senior RV parks in Arizona have rates to accommodate guests aged 55 and older who plan to stay for extended periods.
