SPORTS & RECREATION \/ PARKS & NATURE
\n<\/strong>
\nArizona’s legacy of sunshine and diverse natural beauty create an idyllic atmosphere and a scenic backdrop for every imaginable outdoor adventure or activity. Vast state parks and wildlife refuges are available for swimming, boating, sailing, water sports, rock climbing, exploration, nature study, hunting, fishing, off-roading, horseback riding, hiking, and biking. The opportunities for day trips, weekend holidays, and vacations are abundant in Arizona, from the world-famous Grand Canyon to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Powell or the white-powder slopes of the San Francisco Peaks.<\/p>\n
