Arizona
From the rim of the Grand Canyon down to the saguaro country of the Mexican border — the longest surviving stretch of Route 66, the homelands of twenty-two tribal nations, red-rock canyons, and mining towns that outlived their mines.

Regions of Arizona
Each region gathers the parks, towns, drives, and roadside stops that define one corner of the state.
Navajo & Hopi Country
The Colorado Plateau's tribal heart — Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly, the Hopi mesas, Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon, and the banded ground of the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, across the homelands of the Diné and Hopi.
Red Rock Country & the Central Highlands
Arizona's red-rock center — Sedona's sandstone spires and the green Verde Valley below, the copper ghost town of Jerome on Cleopatra Hill, and the pine-ringed old territorial capital at Prescott.
Route 66 & the Colorado River
The Mother Road and the water border with California — the longest surviving stretch of Route 66 from Seligman through Kingman to Oatman, the Black Mountains switchbacks, and the Colorado River lakes from Lake Havasu down to Yuma.
The Grand Canyon & the San Francisco Peaks
Arizona's high volcanic north — the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, the ponderosa city of Flagstaff, the San Francisco Peaks sacred to the Hopi and Diné, and the cinder cones and lava flows that built this country.
The Mogollon Rim & the White Mountains
The great forested escarpment and the Apache high country — the long wall of the Mogollon Rim, the alpine White Mountains, the plunge of Salt River Canyon, and the Coronado Trail, on the homelands of the Western Apache.
The Sonoran South & the Borderlands
Saguaro desert, silver towns, and the border missions — Tucson under its sky-island ranges, Saguaro National Park, the Spanish missions at San Xavier and Tumacácori, and the mining towns of Tombstone and Bisbee, on Tohono O'odham land near the Mexico line.
The Valley of the Sun
The desert metropolis on the canal builders' ground — Phoenix and its cities, the Superstition Mountains and the old Apache Trail, all laid over the irrigation canals the ancestral Huhugam dug and the Akimel O'odham still farm beside.
