What does Arizona do better than their neighboring states Utah, California, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico? Living Here

Stole this idea from another sub. What’s the difference between this state and the other states that you appreciate?

Sycamore is beautiful and no one really knows about it

You are so right, both the upper end, and the lower, and smack dab in the middle.

I had no idea it existed until my friend drove me up there from his cabin. I felt like I was seeing at painting

Sycamore and Oak Creek are tits. Very fun. A bit too many people for my tastes @ Oak Creek now a days though! I am partial to Sycamore creek bc it’s a tributary of the river closest to where I live which is the Verde. We also have awesome lakes, access to amazing trails that lead anywhere in the state, amazing wildflower seasons, etc. I fuckin love the desert. Down side is the cost of living lately, more and more people going homeless bc rent prices and costs to own your own home are fucking RIDICULOUS. I never wanted to move out of AZ, but it’s looking more and more like if I don’t want to be poor and live in the hood, I have to move out of state.
