      Arizona

      For nearly half a century, Arizona was a Territory of the United States, much as the Virgin Islands and Guam are today. Slow to develop due to numerous confrontations between the early settlers and hostile Indians (prolonged by an Eastern anomaly known as the Civil War), it continues to be one of America's most striking symbols of the Old West.

      Arizona was finally granted statehood in 1912 - the last of the nation's contiguous 48 states. The nation was now 'complete' - a solid block of states from sea to sea and border to border. For almost half a century more, it remained America's youngest state, until Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to the Union in 1959.

      A picturesque place, well-provided with stately mountains, bone-dry deserts, and lots of wide-open spaces, Arizona is notable for its ghost towns, abandoned mining camps, lost treasures, colorful characters, Cochise, Geronimo, stagecoach lines, and a plethora of notorious outlaws. Most often, however, it is noted for its weather.

      About equally divided between the low-lying desert regions in the southern part of the state and the higher, forested eleva-tions in the northern part, Arizona is effectively bisected by a 1,000-foot-high escarpment called the Mogollon (Mug-oh-yohn) Rim. North of 'The Rim' are the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, the Painted Desert, Monument Valley, and the Petrified Forest. Flagstaff, the largest city in northern Arizona, enjoys roughly the same elevation as Denver, Colorado, and consequently has a lengthy skiing season during the winter months.

      View from the Mogollon Rim

      South of the Mogollon Rim lie numerous pre-Columbian Indian ruins, several delightful old Spanish missions, the Mexican border country, and an intriguing variety of desert flora and fauna, some of which is found nowhere else on earth.

      Phoenix, the state capital; the communities of Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, and Glendale, which surround Phoenix; and Tucson, the Old Pueblo, all lie in the southern part of the state, where low desert elevations produce a mild, dry climate that has long attracted those anxious to escape the rigors of the colder, more humid climates.

      Whatever it is that first attracts a visitor to Arizona, he or she always comes away with their own romantic collection of cherished memories.

      The Painted Desert

      Tucson: The Old Pueblo

      By car: Tucson sits astride two Interstate highways, I-10 and I-19. I-10, running east-and-west, extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific; from Jacksonville, Florida on the east to Los Angeles on the west. En route, it passes through Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso (1,959 miles), before reaching Tucson, and an additional 494 miles before it enters Los Angeles. I-19, which runs north-and-south, links Tucson to the Mexican border at Nogales.

      By air:: Tucson International, an excellent airport, is served by a number of major airlines. It also provides a major transportation link for those traveling south on numerous 'feeder' airlines to Mexico, Central America and South America.

      Totally surrounded by mountains - the Santa Catalinas to the North, the Rincons to the East, the Santa Cruz Mountains to the South, and the Tucson Mountains to the West - Tucson's brilliantly hued sunsets are often spectacular.

      The streets bear romantic- , sometimes mysterious-sounding names like Cañada del Oro, Camino del Toro, and Avenida los Reyes. Visitors meander through little back-street shops stocked with Navajo Indian jewelry, Hopi Indian baskets, kachina dolls, Mexican pottery, colorful piñatas, and a fascinating array of other merchandise to take back home as souvenirs and gifts.

      Lunch time provides an opportunity to sample traditional Mexican foods like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, carne asada, and fry bread - and to wash it down with a flavorful Margarita, a shot of tequila or mescal, cerveza (beer), or simply agua (water).

      Those who visit during mid-March can enjoy the Tohono O'odham Wa:ak Pow Wow at the San Xavier del Bac Mission, 520/294-5727. In
