Arizona

Bustling city or silent mountains? Warm desert or snowy peaks? In Arizona, the choice is yours – and nowhere else will you find so much to choose from. With five distinct regions, dozens of national and state parks – including the Grand Canyon – and hundreds of towns and cities, Arizona’s landscape is as diverse as it is beautiful.

Vast, beautiful terrain, ancient architectural ruins and charming contemporary towns dot Arizona’s American Indian landscape, where the rich traditions of the past are as alive as they are welcoming. With five distinct regions containing dozens of tribes with historical and cultural significance, Arizona’s American Indian reservations are full of adventure.

Sweeping canyons. Jagged cliffs. Towering ponderosa pines. Shimmering lakes. And of course, miles of cacti in every size, shape and style. When it comes to natural beauty, Arizona is second to none – and there’s no better way to experience this wonder than from one of Arizona’s many national parks, monuments and recreation areas.

Arizona is also home to a variety of beautiful state parks, where everything from picnicking and hiking to camping and swimming is available.
