BnBscape is an online directory that promtes eco-friendly or “green” Bed and Breakfasts and Country Inns throughout The USA and Canada. We believe that Bed and Breakfasts are ideally suited for ecotourism or sustainable tourism to further the development of an 'earth-friendly' way of life.

BnBscape is committed to the Promotion and Marketing of the hospitality business with concern for the environment. We are not in the certification business. The Inns participating in our directory have volunteered their information and we make no claims about their accuracy or integrity.

However, we do require that each participant fulfill at least a minimum of three eco-friendly practices described in our section: Eco-practices. We consider that eco-friendly practices can be easily adapted to the daily routine of inns and B&Bs. Please check the pages: eco tips - rrr tips

For those that have voluntarily certified their Inn “green” and feel that your operation deserves a special listing, please review our Certified Green Inns page. Or choose one of the numerous websites that make certification their specialty.

Arizona
Recreation and Places of Interest

As a vacation state Arizona has few rivals. Its consistently clear, sunny weather permits the pursuit of most outdoor activities throughout the year and affords visitors such unusual delights as being able to water-ski in the morning in upper 20°s C (lower 80°s F) temperatures and swoop down nearby snow slopes in the afternoon.

National Parks

The Grand Canyon is one of the natural wonders of the world. Carved in the earth’s surface through the centuries by the Colorado River, the canyon is 446 km (277 mi) long, 29 km (18 mi) at its widest point, and more than 1,500 m (5,000 ft) deep. Looking down into the canyon from its rim, one sees massive rock formations stretching into the distance that vary in color according to the season and hour of day. In 1908 President Theodore Roosevelt set aside a portion of the canyon as a national monument. In 1919 it was expanded to cover more than 2,500 sq km (1,000 sq mi) and was designated as the Grand Canyon National Park. An additional part of the canyon was included in newly established Grand Canyon National Monument in 1932. In 1975 the national park was enlarged to include the national monument and other areas. The entire canyon is now within the park, which is 4,927 sq km (1,902 sq mi) in size.
