Arizona might be most famous for its natural landscapes such as the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest, the giant Saguaro cactus and the Rainbow Bridge. This state's natural beauty is interesting because visitors can travel from sagebrush and cactus to tall pines and golden aspens all in the same day. Providing an additional contrast to the landscape is the combination of the ancient Indian Pueblos and the modern cities.

Arizona is home to 14 national monuments, two national parks, one national historic park, one national memorial, two national recreation areas and two national historic sites. Any one of these national protected sites is a great destination for travelers to Arizona. Another natural site that is easy to enjoy is the Colorado River. The river has created two lakes in Arizona,

Lake Mead and Lake Powell. The London Bridge has found its home south of these lakes in Lake Havasu City. The Colorado River and accompanying lakes are an absolute dream for the water enthusiast. Though the air outside is hot the water remains fresh and cool throughout the year.

Phoenix is the capital and has everything to offer, including a zoo, museums, incredible golf opportunities, professional basketball and football, rodeos and horse racing. Tucson is another large city and has much of the same big city events as Phoenix.
