Arizona Hotels

By: David H Urmann

Arizona's diversity and beauty still surprises and awes visitors.
Although not on the ocean, Arizona has a coastline hundreds of miles long. Rugged cliffs inhabited by desert bighorn sheep rise above the river in Black Canyon. You can venture into these canyons in canoes and other small craft, because the lower Colorado River has no rapids. Also, two of the nation's largest reservoirs--Lake Mead and Lake Powell--lie in the northern part of the state, where their dark-blue waters contrast with the surrounding desert. Lake Powell lies deep in canyons of gracefully curved sandstone. Countless coves along both reservoirs offer quiet corners to explore.
Between the two lakes, the Grand Canyon slices nearly a vertical mile into the geologic layer cake of the Colorado Plateau. It is a magnet that draws visitors from all over the world to take in the view. Hidden wonders reveal themselves as you venture on trails or on a river trip into the depths. The starkly beautiful cinder cones and lava flows at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, are just magnificent.
Tribes across Arizona represent many cultural traditions and one can explore their beautiful lands and perhaps get an insight into their beliefs. In Arizona, you'll find the most varied cultural offerings, nightlife, and sporting events in the two largest metropolitan areas of Phoenix and Tucson. Arizona State University in the greater Phoenix area and the University of Arizona in Tucson add much to the energy of each place. In Arizona, you'll find most of them in the Phoenix and Tucson areas, where you can rest beside a pool in a beautifully landscaped setting, spend the day on a perfect golf course, or ride your horse amidst saguaro-studded hills.
