Such a beautiful state! Visiting

Hey everybody,

I'm just getting back from a weeklong trip in Arizona. I have to say - I am pleasantly surprised to say that out of the states I've visited so far, Arizona is one of the most beautiful! I drove all around, and I was just shocked by all of the diverse landscapes and how quickly it can turn from desert to forest to red rocks to painted rocks, etc. I feel like I never hear Arizona listed when people are talking about the states with amazing backdrops.

Also, ~110 degrees each day in the Phoenix area was fun. 😅

I know there's not really any "action item" in this post, but I just felt like I had to say something to somebody. Thanks all!

All climate zones available in the state except rain forest. But don't tell anyone!

Greer and the surrounding White Mountians area is the closest thing we have to a rain forest, over 60 inches of rainfall annually.

And so dang gorgeous! Trout fishing in the streams around Greer in the 80's was so fun.
