I love it when Jenny's on top!  But enough of that!\n\nI would focus on the geography of Arizona.  It is one of the few states that has pine-tree forests, high altitude grasslands (think African plains), deserts, lakes, mountains and rivers.  Flagstaff is the highest city in the US!  (8000 ft.)  Not to mention the obvious stuff like the Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, and Sedona.  The Sonora Desert in the southern part of the state is truly one of a kind in all of the world.  Wildlife is abundant.  We have mountain lions, bears, wild turkey, elk, deer, rattlesnakes, loads of insects and spiders, all kinds of fish, and even mountain goats and parrots.  Arizona is even getting famous for some local wines.  Here are some good websites for info:
