Powell 16 Welcome to Arizona Never have walls felt so liberating than when they rise up around you in the Grand Canyon State, a boundless blue sky overhead. A paradoxical destination of shimmering deserts and lush oases destined for golfing glory; paired with modern cities, Old West towns, and Native American villages, sleek luxury spas and rugged outdoor adventures. Arizona seems to have it all. Stand in four states at once at its northeastern corner, bordering Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Take a historical train to the Grand Canyon's South Rim, or walk on glass on the famous horseshoe-shaped Skywalk on the Hualapai Nation Indian Reservation at the West Rim, 4,000 exciting feet above the Colorado River. Practice your Spanish as you order a chimichanga in the state it was invented in, then work off this delicious deep-fried dish biking through the Sonoran Desert, climbing the monumental rocks, or skiing—yes, skiing—its southern peaks. Experience is yours in spades in Arizona. All you have to do is seize it. WELCOME TO
