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.

76. Jerome

This village is to be reached via a very winding road! You need to take care when driving, and stick to the speed limits. Once you arrive at Jerome, you will be delighted at the old town! There are many interesting stores, and of course the view over the valley is amazing.

There are some ruins you can visit, and a museum called the Gold King Mine Museum, which is well worth a visit.
The Jerome Hotel has the most breathtaking views, as it stands at 2,500 feet high. It was built in 1927.
Even if you are not able to get into the hotel for a night, spend a day in the town. The museum is excellent, and so are the small coffee shops.

77. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

This is right down near the border of Mexico. You will find that there are three different vegetation zones, and over 30 different types of cactus. The organ pipe is the most profuse, and grows to about 25 feet. If possible try to plan your trip in May – July as this is when the cacti bloom. You need to be there in the cooler part of the day for the flowers to open, so try to stay after sunset to see the area at its best.
You can drive through the park, and stop wherever you like to take photographs, or follow one of the many hiking trails, which are well sign-posted.
If driving, there are two routes, namely the Ajo Mountain Drive, and Puerto Blanco Drive. Both will give you an excellent chance of seeing the cacti in bloom.
There are no facilities in the park, so be sure you have enough water before you head out.

78. Tumacacori National Historical Park

There are ruins of three early Spanish missions here, just south of Tucson. The two oldest are Los Santos Angeles de Guevavi, and San Jose de Tumacacori, which were built in 1691. The third building was built in 1848, and this is the San Cayetano de Calabazas.
The area was declared a national monument in 1908, after it had been left abandoned due to harsh winters and apache raids.
Allow a half day to see these buildings, although try to spend longer in the area as there are other things to see there, such as the Titan Missile Museum.

79. Tubac

The town is now an artist colony, and you will find many eclectic boutiques and studios to look at. It is very popular because it is an easy day trip from Tucson. The summer gets very busy with tourists. It is a very small town, so do not expect to be able to stay in an hotel, although you can park an RV outside the town.
Many people come to the town to buy artwork and crafts, and there are places where you can eat and get refreshments.
You will find over 100 unique shops in the high street and also down the side roads.
Allow yourself a day out from Tucson.

80. Mogollon Rim

You will find this near Payson, although the town of Sedona is also quite close by. The cliffs are limestone and sandstone, and it is this that gives the amazing colours to the creeks and canyons. There are cool pine forests to walk in, and trails which you can follow. Fossil Creek Canyon is very popular, as is Pine Canyon.
There are camping areas in the vicinity, and RV spots with hookups. The area is excellent if you enjoy the cooler climates and want to see some spectacular scenery.
Try to spend more than a day here, as the colours change in the sunset and sunrise. This is worth staying to look at.
