In preparation for our trip to Arizona, I read this book to get some ideas of things to see. We are going for 7 days to get some sun and good weather. I learned some things I didn't know about the "Baby State." It has quite a few mountains and forests, it has an old history, and quite a few lakes for a desert area although they are man-made. I enjoyed reading this.
