  • Favorite Thing: Arizona's environment is wonderfuly varied. You can be in desert, and 20 minutes later, be in ponderosa forest. The canyons, rock formations, wildlife, mountains -- Arizona is just AMAZING.

    You could explore a lifetime and not see it all.

  • Favorite Thing: Arizona should not be called the Grand Canyon State, but the Friendliest State. A huge majority of the people we met were just so darn friendly. In fact, the rudest people we met were tourists from other states! (I won't incriminate myself by mentioning what states)

    We made many friends on this trip, and had many wonderful conversations with locals.

    General Tips: Our Friend, the Saguaro

  • Fondest Memory: The first thing that comes to mind for me about Arizona is the wonderful Saguaro cactus. A symbol to many people of Arizona (and I noticed it on car license plates), the saguaro is much more than a picturesque cactus.

    It is a great contributor to the ecosystem -- the natives ate it's sweet fruit, and the fruit provides food for birds and animals. It also provides a home for birds, and the dried internal ribs can be used as building material.

     What's funny is that I told him on special occasions, it wasn't cats but hamsters. Needless to say, the relationship ended very quick! =)
