For more than a century, Arizona Highways has helped people discover Arizona.
From towering canyon walls and quiet desert roads to mountain forests, wildlife, historic places, and destinations tucked into every corner of the state, Arizona Highways has built a remarkable visual and written record of the Grand Canyon State.
The magazine celebrated its centennial in 2025, marking 100 years since its first magazine issue appeared in April 1925. What began as a publication connected to Arizona's developing highway system evolved into a world-renowned showcase of the state's scenery, history, culture, and travel experiences.
Photography has become inseparable from that legacy.
Across generations, Arizona Highways has worked with acclaimed photographers to document the state's extraordinary landscapes and natural beauty. Its pages have become known for images that don't simply show readers what Arizona looks like—they make people want to experience those places for themselves.
But the Arizona Highways story extends well beyond the magazine.
Through beautifully produced guidebooks, photography and coffee-table books, calendars, and other publications, Arizona Highways explores scenic drives, outdoor adventures, Arizona history, wildlife, destinations, and the landscapes that define the state. Its current publishing catalog continues that tradition with books devoted to Arizona's wilderness, road trips, natural places, and more.
That makes Arizona Highways a particularly natural fit for Scottsdale Book Festival.
Books can introduce us to imaginary worlds, but they can also encourage us to look more closely at the world right outside our door. For generations of readers, Arizona Highways has done exactly that—using writers, photographers, books, and magazines to preserve Arizona's stories while inspiring people to get out and discover them for themselves.
Visitors to Scottsdale Book Festival 2027 will have the opportunity to explore Arizona Highways publications and discover books and products celebrating the landscapes, history, wildlife, outdoor adventures, scenic drives, and destinations that have made Arizona the subject of more than a century of storytelling.
