Fora’s Take

Arizona is quite the special place. The desert landscape is unlike anything else you’ve ever seen. All the saguaros are so majestic and you can’t go wrong with a desert sunset. Sedona, Lake Havasu City, Superstition Mountains in Apache Junction and Scottsdale are some of the top destinations to visit in Arizona.
