Grand Canyon & Arizona

Of course, there’s the Grand Canyon. But this world famous and extraordinary landscape isn’t the only wonder of Arizona. The mesas of Sedona, the ancient craters and lava flows of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument or the ruins of Sinagua Indians villages of Wupatki National Monument, there’s so much to see in the area around Flagstaff, in the heart of the State! And for pictures of Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon, visit my other gallery by following this link.
