Arizona
Arizona is a state in the Southwestern United States. Arizona mostly has a desert landscape in it's Mid and Southern areas such as Phoenix and Tucson, but in it's Northern areas such as Flagstaff, lush pine forests grow, and snow falls in the winter. The capitol city of Arizona is Phoenix, which has the only desert skyline in the U.S.A. The most notable skyscraper in downtown Phoenix is Chase Tower, which is the tallest building in the state. Phoenix was originally conceived as a "Manhattan of the Desert" by Jack Swilling. Some famous suburb areas around Phoenix are Peoria, Glendale, and Scottsdale.

Arizona is known for it's diverse landscape. It has deserts, lakes, forests, snow, valleys, hills, and mountains. Usually thought to be dusty, hot, and barren by people around the rest of the world, Arizona is really not like that most of the year. Saguaro cacti and Palo Verde Trees grow alongside pines and evergreens. But the most intriguing and unique feature of Arizona is the Grand Canyon, a majestic canyon in Northern Arizona that was carved by the Colorado River. Thousands of people a year visit the Grand Canyon.

The economy of Arizona is made of the 5 C's: Copper, Cattle, Cotton, Citrus, and Climate.

The three biggest universities in Arizona are ASU, (Arizona State University) UofA, (University of Arizona) and NAU.(Northern Arizona University) ASU has the largest student body of the three.
