| Phoenix
is in Central Arizona. It is in Maricopa County and
is the capital of Arizona. It is at the heart of the
state and has earned the nickname "Valley of the Sun"
or "The Valley". The name refers to over 300 days
of sunshine the city receives each year and its location
set amid the mountains. Phoenix is situated on a flat
valley floor with mountains surrounding it on every
side. Camelback Mountain and Squaw Peak are both landmarks
and hiking spots.

Arizona - There's no place on earth
quite like the Grand Canyon State. It's not just
our landscapes, which take in tall mountain ranges,
swift rivers, grasslands, sand dunes, and cactus
forests. It's not just our storied past, which reaches
back thousands of years. It's not just our people,
a vibrant blend of cultures and traditions. It's
all these things, and the way they come together,
that make a visit to Arizona a truly unforgettable
experience.
