Ever want a vacation that is totally different? Let me tell you; If you live anywhere in the mid-west or east-after living in an oasis of trees, rain, grass, and the critters that come with it, Arizona is the place you should choose.
There is nothing more arid, land that has been stripped of trees and grass, more brown and less green than this landscape. Getting back to basics...that's what it is. Rocks, dirt...lots of dirt..., critters all in search of water and food. And that includes the 2 legged kind. Speaking of critters- a whole new variety exists in the the world of Arizona. From scorpions to black widow spiders to rattle snakes, the landscape teams of creepy crawly dangerous things.
Yet there is a beauty here that one cannot find anywhere else. Rocks can be and are beautiful. Reds and blacks, and crystals, golds and silvers and turquoise. Cactus are beautiful. Dangerous if you fall back on or into one but their beauty is something to behold especially when they flower.
