The United States is the world's third largest country
by land area, after Russia and Canada
Arizona land formations took millions of years to
develop, and when the earth ceased its restlessness, it left a pattern of
great variety and contrast over the earth.
The ancient history of people in Arizona reaches back many thousands of
years. In fact, southern Arizona has been continuously settled for over
12,000 years. Tucson one of the oldest cities in the United States, was
founded in 1775.
World famous for its beautiful scenery, Arizona is home to many of the
planet's most spectacular natural wonders, including the Grand Canyon,
Monument Valley, Meteor Crater and the Painted Desert, to name but a few.
Stylish and rustic, Arizona is a mix of Native American Indian and
Hispanic cultures, and represents the real flavor and essence of the
American West.
It's a favorite stop of golfers and vacationers, and remains one of the
most popular retirement destinations on the planet
The rock layers were created
at the bottom of a vast sea millions of years ago when sedimentary
deposits accumulated to a thickness of nearly a mile. Later, a collision
of tectonic plates raised the entire region thousands of feet to form the
great Colorado plateau that now lies 7000 to 9000 feet (2100 to 2750
meters) above sea level. The Colorado River slowly formed a basin to carry
away water from this region and over the millennia it eroded down through
the numerous sedimentary layers. Eventually the river cut this mile-deep
channel that we have named the Grand Canyon.
One of the Seven Wonders of the World exists here
among our lush desert landscapes, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking mountain
peaks. From small communities to one of the fastest growing cities in the United
States, Arizona offers travelers unique experiences packed with hospitality,
adventure, and stunning sights.
Visitors to the interior of Sonora are now able to drive directly to such cities
as Guaymas (San Carlos), Hermosillo, Kino Bay, Magdalena and Santa Ana without
the time-consuming process of obtaining a car permit.
With the relocation of the "Only Sonora" vehicle checkpoint, visitors to the
state will no longer have to obtain a car permit in order to travel south of
Nogales. Effective December 15, 2005 paperwork to obtain the decal for visiting
the interior will be done at a new checkpoint on Highway 15, just south of the Guaymas-bypass on the road to Ciudad Obregon.
The state's name comes from
"arizonac", a Papago Indian word meaning "place of the small spring". Arizona
was the 48th state to join the U.S. in 1912 - the last of 48 contiguous
(connected) states to join the Union. Arizona, once thought to be an almost
worthless desert, is now prosperous - the fastest growing state in the
country. It is rich in farm and mineral products and manufacturing is
growing rapidly. Vast irrigation systems have transformed the desert
into rich farmland. Although the desert summers are very hot, the desert
winters are warm and pleasant. Dude ranches, historic sites and magnificent
scenery draw travelers to Arizona. The outstanding scenic feature is Grand
Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world
Grand Canyon National Park is
located in northern Arizona about 75 miles (125 km) north of Flagstaff
Arizona. The South Rim Visitor's Center can be reached via an
hour-and-half-hour drive from Flagstaff or a five-hour drive from Las
Vegas. The North Rim Visitor's Center is a mere 10 miles (15 km) from the
South Rim Visitor's Center "as the crow flies" but you must drive over 200
miles (320 km) to get from one to the other.
