It's not just the landscapes, which take in tall mountain ranges, swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes and cactus forests. It's not just the storied past, which reaches back thousands of years. It's not just the people, a vibrant blend of cultures and traditions. It's all theses things, and the way they come together, that make Arizona a truly unforgettable experience.

 When clouds swept the heavens, vast shadows were cast; but so vast was the canyon that these shadows seemed patches of gray and purple and amber. The dawn and the evening twilight were brooding mysteries over the dusk of the abyss; night shrouded; the immensity but did not hide it, and to none of the sons of men is it given to tell the wonder and splendor of sunrise and sunset in the Grand Canyon.

 Indian Country! Monument Valley
In the house made of dawn, in the house made of the evening twilight, in the house made of the dark cloud, ....with beauty all around me, I walk.
