Arizona - More than Just a Desert

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.

For some, it's the thrill of an unparalleled outdoor adventure amid some of the most awe-inspiring scenery on the planet. For others, it's an exotic sun-drenched getaway to an indulgent, world-class resort destination. Still others travel to the Grand Canyon State to examine and experience its rich history and multifaceted cultural offerings. Many make their pilgrimage here to tee up on the lush, green fairways of one of the state's more than 300 golf courses.

Regardless what inspires visitors to explore Arizona, their journey is guaranteed to be one that will lift their spirits, warm their souls and provide memories for years to come.

Visits to Arizona are generally limited to the northwestern corner of the state that houses one of the great natural wonders of the world - the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon. Although a major attraction, it need not be the only reason to visit the state.
