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.

81. Desert View Watchtower

The tower was constructed in the early 1930’s to pay homage to the Anasazi Tribe who first inhabited the area. You will notice that there are two round buildings, a big one and a smaller one.
Take time to look around inside them and you will find many petroglyphs. The tall tower stands at five stories high.
You will find the towers at the east gate to the Grand Canyon, and the view is of the Colorado River and south rim of the canyon.
If you are coming from Flagstaff the trip will take you 90 minutes, although if you stay in the Grand Canyon Village (where you can take RVs), it will only take you 40 minutes.

82. Verde Canyon Railway Tours

The train tootles along at a grand rate of just 12 miles per hour! The route meanders through the wilderness and you can sit back and enjoy the scenery. The trip takes almost 5 hours to go from Clarkdale to Perkinsville and back again.
Perkinsville is a ghost ranch, so don’t expect any refreshments there. On the way, you will go through tunnels and climb up passes, with cliffs and views to delight you.
Look out for Bald Eagles, and other birds of prey that nest there. The train weaves its way through two national forests with magnificent views in both directions.
Allow yourself a day to do this as you may want to spend some time in Payson on your return. You can get to the Railroad from Sedona, and it takes about 35 minutes.

83. 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group

If aircraft and all that comes with them appeal to you, then you must head here! Davis-Montham is the largest aircraft graveyard in the world! You will find this near Tucson. It is also called the ‘Boneyard’. You will find almost every plane ever flown in the US Armed Forces since WWII, as well as many retired planes.
The planes were parked there to be used for spare parts, and it has grown ever since then. You will find the remains of everything ranging from B-29 to C-74 here. B-52 bombers lie next to F-4 fighters.
An interesting fact is that the Defense Dept reckons that by utilising replacement parts from the site, for every $1 they spend, it saves them $11 by using reclaimed parts.
Another reason the planes are stored in Tucson, is because the high altitude and dry conditions ensure that rust and deterioration happens at a much slower rate than anywhere else.
Many action movies have been filmed here, with the backdrop of the graveyard.
Plan to spend a full day here. You could visit Pima Air Museum, and then combine it with a visit to the graveyard.

84. Casa Grande Ruins

The ruins are found in Coolidge, which is very near to the town of Casa Grande. These are known to be the tallest ruins in the country. They were built in 1350 and inhabited by the Sonoran people. Very little is known about the tribe, apart from the fact that they were farmers. They left no writings anywhere.
With the advent of the railway in 1880, the area became a tourist attraction with many people taking souvenirs, and vandals leaving graffiti on the ruins. After petitions in 1889 the ruins became a preserved site.
Shelters were built for the ruins in 1901, and again in 1931.
Make sure you take care near the shelters as they are also out of bounds to touch.

It will not take more than an hour or two to look at the ruins, but the town of Casa Grande is worth looking at. It is still very much like an old Wild West town.

85. Boothill Graveyard

You will find the graveyard just outside Tucson. Many of the dead were hanged or shot, most of the graves have a tale behind them, and you may recognize some of the names.
Some of the original wooden grave markers are still in place, although others are reconstructed.
There is a small shop where you can buy drinks and souvenirs, and a craft shop where you can pick up some typical Indian blankets at good prices.
This will only take an hour or so to go around; by the way  you can head into Tombstone and look around the town. There is plenty to see there. Preferably stay a night so you can see all there is to see.
