Mountains and Deserts, Cities and Forests Arizona is a fascinating place to see historical sights of many eras, from the prehistoric building of a variety of Native American tribes to the Old West towns and cities that retain some of their pioneer flavor. It is also a modern, thriving state with industry and commerce, arts and education, and a mixture of city and country living. Outdoor activities reflect a mixture of desert and mountain terrain, with ski resorts and golf resorts, spas and climbing schools. Las Vegas gives the state a head start in the gambling stakes, and as a tourist resort it has a global reputation.
