Hoover Dam
Like so many Wonders of the World, it's hard to describe the magnificence of Hoover Dam. You've got to see it. Located in Black Canyon between Nevada and Arizona, the Dam is one of America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders. It temporarily captures water from the Colorado River, uses it to generate more than four billion kilowatts of electrical power for 1.3 million people in California (56%), Nevada (25%), and Arizona (19%), then releases it downstream through Mexico to the Gulf of California. . . .more
Montezuma Castle
Montezuma Castle was home for about 200 Sinagua Indian farmers, craftsmen and traders from A.D. 1100 to A.D. 1400. They built their home in an alcove about a third of the way up the 150 feet limestone Beaver Creek canyon wall. From the permanence of the dwellings, it appears that they intended to stay far longer than 300 years. But for unknown reasons, the entire Sinagua tribe left their home then disappeared into history. Although there is much speculation, no one knows where they went or why they left. . . . more
Grand Canyon Photo Gallery
Over one mile deep, four to eighteen miles across and still growing, the Grand Canyon is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The five life zones found in the Canyon is like traveling from Mexico to Canada. The Grand Canyon was formed through a combination of tectonic plate activity and more than six million years of erosion from the 277 mile Colorado River which winds slowly along the Canyon floor. The sun and shadows on the rock formations create every changing hues of tremendous natural beauty. . . . more
Montezuma Well
For more than 400 years the Sinagua Indians lived in Arizona's Verde Valley. Within the stone walls around Montezuma Well and around the rim of the Well, they built homes and established a thriving community. They used ingenuity and primitive tools to channel water from the Well to irrigate their food and cotton crops in the flatlands below. Even though the Sinagua Indians have disappeared, the National Park Service maintains this historic site so the current generation will remember the people who lived here then disappeared. . . . more
Lowell Observatory

The overlook on the winding road up to Lowell Observatory offers an excellent view of Flagstaff, AZ. But it’s a much higher view that most people seek when they head up Mars Hill pass the overlook and drive through the stone pillars at the entrance to the Observatory. On a clear night and with the assistance of the Observatory’s powerful telescopes, visitors are rewarded with a view of the universe that far exceeds anything we can see with the naked eye. . . . more
