Insider's Arizona Guidebook

No one knows Arizona like we do. With an isnider's perspective gained from more than 80 years of chronicling the Grand Canyon State's natural and man-made attractions, we offer this guide to the places we love. We draw on history, culture, and lore to help you enjoy both our icons and lesser-known laces and events ranging from the indescribable Grand Canyon in the north to the grasslands of Sonoita in the south; from the ponderosa pines and snows of Flagstaff to the paloverde trees and desert marigolds of Tucons; from the dramatic and stark Navajo and Hopi canyons, plateaus, and mesas to the lush desert of Saguaro National Park; from the refuges protecting wildlife to the mud and stone ruins that housed our earliest residents. Our introduction touches on peoples, history, landmarks, plants, animals, and geology. Deeper in the book we map out scenic drives that take you into the countryside, and we list scores of places you should visit.Mitchell, David N. is the author of 'Insider's Arizona Guidebook ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781932082241 and ISBN 1932082247.
