As the saying goes, big things come in small packages.
While big cities have an abundance of attractions, entertainment venues and restaurants compared to their less-populated counterparts, small towns allow visitors a chance to better see the heart of what makes the town so special and often offer some truly unique experiences you won't find anywhere else.
Travel Curator compiled a list of 35 of the "best and coolest small towns" in the U.S., the small-but-mighty destinations worth visiting that are sure to make a trip just as memorable as a bigger city. Among the list of locales like stunning California hideaways, charming country towns in Texas and sunny cities in Florida are two spots in Arizona.
According to the site, Sedona, praised for its natural beauty, and Bisbee, for its charming community, are some of the best small towns in the entire country. Here's what the site had to say about these cool spots:
"While Sedona isn't quite a small town (we've been coming here for years for the incredible wellness resorts) you can absorb yourself in Sedona, Arizona's exceptional natural beauty, including its magnificent red rock formations and thriving spiritual and health community. If you are looking to reset, detox, or destress, Sedona should absolutely be on your must-travel list."
"Located in the Mule Mountains, explore the former mining town turned artist community of Bisbee, Arizona. Featuring charming colorful houses, art galleries, historic landmarks, and a vibrant downtown, visitors will have plenty to keep them busy."
