亚利桑那州（Arizona）有大峡谷之州(The Grand Canyon State)的称号，这里不仅有铁锈色的岩石，而且山峰众多，多于任何其他的山地州，荒原面积也超过了整个中西部地区的总和。此外，美国原住民的土地也比美国其他任何一个州都多。

说到植物群和动物群，很难找到比亚利桑那州更具生物多样性和更加美丽的地方。在该州的沙漠地带，你可以找到大小、形态各异的仙人掌植株。在高海拔地区，茂密的森林产生天然的绿色屏障，里面生长着各种山地动植物。

探访植物园。观赏全国最美丽的鸟类迁徙 – 包括多达17种蜂鸟。你甚至可以参加一次生态旅行或者志愿者之旅 – 这些都是完美的度假方式，而且很好地保护了这片美丽的土地。

Although Arizona is The Grand Canyon State, it has more to offer than rust-colored rocks. Arizona has more mountain peaks than any other Mountain State, more wilderness areas than the whole Midwest, and more Native Americans lands than any other U.S. state.

(When it comes to flora and fauna, it’s difficult to beat the diversity – and sheer beauty – of Arizona. You’ll find cacti of every size and shape in the state’s desert areas, while thick green forests create canopies filled with mountain creatures in higher elevations.

Explore a botanical garden or arboretum. See some of the most beautiful bird migrations in the country – including as many as 17 varieties of hummingbirds. You could even participate in an ecotourism or volunteer vacation – the perfect way to enjoy, and preserve, this beautiful state.
