Arizona Adventure (Grand Canyon -Tuscon)

i just went to the rainbow bridge and it is so beautiful! I am now doing a research paper on it for my world history class. I never knew that the bridge is the worlds largest natural bridge. Ive found out that many indians believed that the bridge was sacred. I also found out that it is one of the seven wounders of the world.

thanks, Colleen, for your many wonderful photos of my adopted State!(I live in Scottsdale) If you want to see SUNSETS, you must return and spend longer, as we have the most spectacular any place!! By the way, Tucson is spelled with the "c" first...(many people make this mistake)

I grew up in Arizona and now live in Chicago. I miss the scenery terribly! These are some beautiful photos, especially of the cactus blossoms! You could submit these photos to a photography book!

Being an ex long haul trucker I was all over Arizona but never really had the chance to stop and enjoy it. Beautiful photos of a beautiful state. Thanks for the tour.
