Arizona Vacations, Arizona Vacation Reviews, Tourism Guide

The last of the lower 48 states to enter the union, Arizona has enjoyed tremendous growth and notice in recent years, as it becomes a more and more popular place to live.

Most of the state is desert, but did you know that some of northern Arizona looks like it fell off of Colorado? If you ever find yourself in Flagstaff, you won't think you're in Arizona. With its high altitude and evergreen trees under the shadow of the state's highest peak -- Humphreys Peak 12,633 feet (3,851m) -- it really seems like Colorado up there.

But make your way north to the amazing Grand Canyon or south toward Phoenix (or east or west, really) and you'll see that famous desert landscape. Arizona is a state full of natural beauty. But it's also a modern region, with Phoenix serving as the state and metropolitan capital. The once-sleepy city exploded in population in the 1970s and 80s, and is now considered one of the premier cities in the nation.

Sure, it might get insanely hot in the summer, but it's a beautiful state and is a must-see for any world traveler.
