If ever there was a case of good press badly reported, it’s Arizona. Say the name of the last of the 48 continental states to be accepted into the Union, and you can bet your bottom dollar people will say – “oh where the Grand Canyon is”. And whilst it is true that the Grand Canyon is without doubt one of the greatest natural sights on earth – many would say the greatest; Arizona is far from a one trick State. The word Arizona means "little spring" in the Papago Indian language, although in its sheer size and depth of raw natural beauty, Arizona is anything but little.

Arizona, which became a State on Valentines Day 1912, is divided into five regions: Phoenix and Central Arizona, Tucson and Southern Arizona, Northern Arizona, West Coast and North Central Arizona. The 277 jaw dropping miles of the Grand Canyon is situated in the far north west of the State and the area is also home to the cobalt waters of the nation’s largest man-made body of water, Lake Mead and the astonishing Hoover Dam. It is also where you’ll find the longest stretch of that epitome of the great American road trip, historic Route 66, otherwise known as the old “Mother Road”.
