Going in early or staying after BCA to visit Arizona? Here are a few links I've found:

• Frommer's Experiences - This travel guide has a terrific online presence. This list will give you a few ideas about opportunities throughout the state.
• Arizona Guide - This seems to be the state's tourism site. Here you can request an official visitor's guide and check the happenings for locations and specific dates.
• NPS-Grand Canyon - Download a trip planner and learn what the National Park Service wants you to know before arriving.
• GORP's Grand Canyon - Sponsored by Orbitz, this page offers the top things to do while visiting the "big ditch."
• Visit Phoenix - If you're limiting your visit to Phoenix, here's the convention and visitor's bureau site with lots of ideas.
• Play Ball! - The Diamondbacks are in town the weekend before (Rockies) and after (Padres) our BCA workshop.
