"There's no place on earth quite like the Grand Canyon State. It's not just our landscapes, which take in tall mountain ranges, swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes, and cactus forests. It's not just our storied past, which reaches back thousands of years. It's not just our people, a vibrant blend of cultures and traditions. It's all these things, and the way they come together, that make a visit to Arizona a truly unforgettable experience.
The Grand Canyon is a place of magnificent beauty, a place unlike anywhere else in the world. It is a magnet that draws visitors from all over the world to the North or South Rims to take in the view.
Visitors can enjoy this greatest of national parks in a variety of ways: by foot, air, river, mule, and train. Hikes and mule rides range from flat to rigorous multi-day trips. To see the canyon full spectrum, opt for helicopter and airplane tours or go deep into the heart of the canyon on a rafting tour.
No place in the United States played such a significant role in shaping the image of the Old West quite like Arizona. The spirit of the legendary Old West is kept alive throughout the state in communities, guest ranches and historical parks that pay homage to famous lawmen and notorious gunslingers. A glimpse of the "cowboy life" can be gleaned from a visit to almost any part of the state. The late 1800s have been preserved for folks eager to experience the West -- when the West was harsh.
Few places epitomize the Old West like Tombstone. Known as "The Town Too Tough To Die," Tombstone brings to mind scenes of gun battles on the streets, sour-faced outlaws, and high-rolling gamblers. A climate of wanton abandon where the "law of the gun" was only one respected.
Arizona's golf courses are as diverse and spectacular as its landscape. Across the state there are more than 300 courses, ranging from desert target style to links courses and alpine fairways. With that many courses, you can always find one with good tee times and within your budget, but planning ahead is always recommended."
