Scenic, AZ

united states

Scenic sits in Arizona's northwest corner along the Colorado River, about 15 miles north of Bullhead City via State Route 68. This desert community of 1,400 serves as a quiet base for Colorado River recreation, with easy access to Laughlin's casinos just across the Nevada border. Most visitors arrive from Phoenix (230 miles) via I-40 west to Highway 95, then south on SR-68. The town offers dramatic overlooks of the Colorado River valley from the surrounding desert terrain.
