Surrounding AreaArizona is a land of living contradictions. From Holbrook, in East Arizona, with its Petrified Forest National Park and Painted Desert, to the magnificent rock faces of the Grand Canyon and sun-baked deserts surrounding Phoenix, the topography and terrain of Arizona varies dramatically from region to region. Downhill ski in the morning at Mount Lemmon, near Tucson, and return to the baking heat of the desert by late afternoon. In West Arizona, be sure to enjoy Prescott's temperate climate and witness the beauty of the red rocks of Sedona. |
