Arizona at a Glance
Arizona's landscape reveals vast
differences from region to region. One of the most impressive natural features
in Arizona is the Grand
Canyon, acknowledged as one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The
Navajo and the Hopi reside in Northeast
Arizona on lands that have a strong American Indian heritage. In Arizona's
High Country, visitors find a wealth of Americana, from a wild west atmosphere
to the storied Route 66. Southern
Arizona is home to Tucson, featuring
a number of cultural landmarks as well as skiing at Mount
Lemmon. Phoenix, the state
capital, is located northwest of Tucson and is popular for its heat and varied
attractions. North of Phoenix lies Coconino
National Forest and the centers of Sedona
and Camp Verde. West
Coast Arizona, though not a true coast, is named because of the Colorado
River, which makes up much of Arizona's border with California
and Nevada.
