Arizona is better served by public transportation than much of the Southwest, but it's still an effort to get around without a car. Greyhound
buses
stop at all the major cities and at most towns along the interstates, while Amtrak
trains
cross the state on two of their transcontinental routes (via Tucson in the south, or Flagstaff further north). Seeing the backcountry, however - and especially the reservations - is all but impossible without a car. The largest airport is at Phoenix, and assorted good-value, short-hop
flights
cover the principal destinations. The only worthwhile
bus tours
visit the area around Flagstaff.
