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.

71. Mystery Castle

This is in South Mountain Park. The castle was built in the 1930’s by Boyce Luther Gulley. He moved to Phoenix when he found out that he was suffering from TB. The house is constructed entirely from used, found and cheap materials. After Gulley died, his wife and daughter lived in the house.
Be sure to look at the cantilever stairs which will take you to the top of the house. There are guided tours of the house now, so make sure you check and book in advance.
Allow a half day in the house, although you may want to spend a little longer looking at the garden.

72. Hohokam Stadium

If you love Baseball, then make a trip here! You will find the stadium in Mesa, it is named after the Hohokam Tribe who used to live in that area.

The stadium seats over 10,000 spectators and is the training ground for the Oakland Athletic team.

A point to note is that the scoreboard is the largest in the Cactus League. It measures 12 x 16 feet.
Take a day to enjoy a game at this iconic field. There are plenty of concessions where you can get food and refreshments.

73. Saguaro National Park

As the name suggests, the main feature of this park is the Saguaro cactus, which you will see in thousands, in all states of growth. It is very much a desert landscape, so you can expect to see desert animals and flora.
The park is near Tucson. You will find many hiking trails through it, and you can also drive along some routes.
You will find picnic areas, and bicycle routes, and may even meet up with horse riders as this is popular with them. Rangers do guided tours, which you must book in advance.
Camping is strictly forbidden in the park although you can stop overnight in many campsites outside the park.
Make sure you check the weather conditions before setting out.
Depending on what you plan to do, plan at least a full day to get around the park.

This stadium is home to the Arizona League Dodgers and is located in the city of Glendale. The stadium holds 13,000 spectators, and has many concession stands, where you can buy food during the games.
You will also find that the Los Angeles Dodgers hold their spring training there, as do the Chicago White Sox. So, if you want to collect some autographs, then make sure you time your visit to when they are training.
If you plan to watch a game, then allow yourself time to park your car and get a seat. Arrive early, as some of the games are sold out.

75. Bell Rock

This interesting rock is north of the town of Oak Creek, and the top is 4,900 feet high, you simply cannot miss it!
