The first sentence because it does not combine I and Am together.

A parallel structure means that the same form of the word is used in each part of the sentence. So the correct answer is 'I look forward to visiting Phoenix and to meet Rachel'. For this sentence to be correct, it would need to say 'I look forward to visiting Phoenix and meeting Rachel'.
