Arizona is the 48th state in USA, having achieved statehood on February 14th, 1912. The state of Arizona is known for the desert climate, meaning hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona has mountains, and forests, as well as deep canyons and ski resorts. Apart from the Grand Canyon, there are numerous national forests and parks, many of them with monuments to see.

One quarter of the state is Indian reservation land, housing the 27 tribes of Native Americans. The largest tribe is the Navajo Nation, with a citizenship of over 300,000 people.

The population of Arizona boomed after the introduction of refrigeration soon after WWII, and it is now the sixth largest state in area.

Many people believe that the name comes from a Basque word meaning ‘place of oaks’, while the Papago Tribe translates it as ‘place of the little spring’. Whichever translation you adopt, the state will amaze you with some of the sights and places of interest to explore.

31. Glen Canyon Dam

You will find the dam near the town of Page, easily noticed for the very big arch. It was built between 1956 and 1966, and has a series of gorges. The water levels fluctuate depending on the rain so care must be taken for unexpected flooding.
The canyon is known for great boating and fishing. Water skiing is also very popular there, as well as houseboat trips. Millions of tourists come there every year for water activities.
You can hire boats and water skis, for a great day out. Take care that life jackets are worn when on the water. There is camping in the area, as well as RV parks so pack up and head out for some time on the water, in a beautiful area.

32. South Mountain Park

This is the largest municipal park in the USA, as well as being one of the largest urban parks in the world. It is preserved in a natural state with 25.5 square miles of native desert vegetation.
South Mountain used to be known as Salt River Mountain, and you will find the lookout point at over 1,000 feet above the desert floor. The park is famous for cycling, hiking, and horseback riding.
Make sure to ask directions to the Mystery Castle. Most notable in the park are the ‘Chuckwallas’ with an average of 65 of them per hectare. The area has the greatest population ever reported.
Pack a picnic lunch, hire some bikes, and spend a day here.

33. Salt River

This is an area rather than one spot. The Salt River is the largest tributary of the Gila River. It is about 200 miles long.
This is the perfect spot to take your canoe, rubber tubes, and swimsuits. It is a great family day out.
There are guided trips from one – five hours, which will show you the area. There is also a tube rental, and shuttle service to get there.
You should plan to spend a full day here.

34. Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium

This park is found near Lichfield, north west of Phoenix. It contains Arizona’s largest collection of exotic animals. The kids will enjoy the train which rides through the park, giving them a bird’s eye view of the enclosures. There is a boat which will take you through the Australian section, and      several amusement rides.
The aquarium holds 180,000 gallons of water and contains many interesting specimens.
Some of the animals include Spotted Hyena, Springbok, Spider Monkies, and African lions, to name a few.
There is a restaurant where you can have lunch, so plan to spend the day there.

35. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

The recreation area has been specially created for tourists, with access to Lake Powell. There are 5 marinas, two small airports, 4 campgrounds, and a houseboat rental concession. This area was opened in 1972, and provides enjoyment for the public, all year round.
You will be able to buy provisions at the store, and enjoy barbeque in designated areas.
The area borders Capitol Reef National Park on the north and is accessible via Route 89 and 98.
This is the perfect holiday destination, especially if you enjoy water sports and the wide-open areas around the lake.
