Arizonaroamer.com is a travel site with an agenda--and the online version of the Moon Handbook: Arizona, 10th Edition.

We want to present the history, present, and future of Arizona to the world—with commentary. Here you will find opinionated, studied, and entertaining travel advice along with hotel and restaurant suggestions, and essays, reports, and true stories from the heart of the American Southwest.

This site is not an exhaustive collection of lists of the state's hotels and restaurants. Rather, we profile and celebrate the best this part of the country has to offer—what to see, what to do, where to stay, and what to eat. This site is for the traveling naturalist, hiker, and birder; the seeker of the ruins of ancient civilizations, the art enthusiast, and those enraptured by the truer elements of the Old West's romantic lore.

Equally welcome here are those who would rather Route 66 had never given way to the Interstate, and those who wish adobe was still a popular building technique. The desert rat and the touring sight-seer will find common cause here, as will the rural offspring of pioneer stock and the desert-city dwelling New West urbanite.

Our blog, Dispatches From Arizona, by guidebook author Tim Hull, is a regularly updated mixture of travelogue and cultural commentary with suggestions on what to do, see, and eat in Arizona. Included on the site is the full text of Hull's book, Moon Arizona, published in 2008 by Avalon as part of their popular Moon Guides series; the Stories page has a selection of Hull's published essays, reviews, and reportage on Arizona and the Southwest.
