Description
The southwest United States encompasses Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada. With more sunshine than any other United States city — about 350 days a year — Tucson, Arizona is at the top of places to live for sun-worshippers. The Southwest experiences temporal extremes with 100-125*F summers and winters that can reach below 0*F in the northernmost areas. This weather makes for a perfect destination year round with some of the finest skiing during the winter and unsurpassed hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting and fishing, and water sports in the spring and summer months. The beauty of the Southwest is evident in the landscape. Some of the United States' best natural wonders are found in the Southwest — the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, and countless more. The dramatic red rock landscapes and the flatlands of the Rio Grande are only found in the Southwest.
