Phoenix Flight

Ewa rides a phoenix across the real American West.

Downtown Phoenix

Arizona's capital, street by street. Real buildings, real streets, the light rail running through the middle, and sixteen places to find — from Chase Tower to a sculpture that floats in the air.

Grand Canyon

The real canyon, a mile deep, built from real mountains. Start on the rim at Mather Point, dive down to the Colorado River, and cross to the North Rim where the condors circle.
