Arizona isn’t cheap if you don’t drive. The State isn’t made to be backpacker-friendly. Getting a bus in Southeast Asia is way easier than going from one city to another in Arizona.
However, if your ultimate destination is ONLY the Grand Canyon, then, you can, for sure, save a lot money. But since you’re already there, why not explore other breathtaking and amazing sights the State can offer? That’s exactly what I did—and it came with a price, of course! I had three weeks off but I choose to explore Arizona in 12 days only—because I couldn’t afford.
PHOENIX
Let’s say you’re flight lands in Phoenix. There’s really not much to do in Phoenix if you don’t drive. It’s weird to walk alone on the street, especially at daytime when the scorching heat is at its peak. And even if the weather is tolerable for a walk, it’s very rare to see someone walking. Yes, there’s a bus service but don’t rely on it. It’s only on selected routes and doesn’t really come frequently.
