Arizona bed and breakfast for a bird’s-eye view of the Grand Canyon State
Arizona, USA, is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States of America. The capital city, which is also the largest, is Phoenix, which is packed with bed and breakfasts, inns and lodges for the weary traveler. The three next largest cities are Tucson, Mesa and Glendale. Arizona became a state on Valentines Day 1912, as your B&B host will probably tell you, and Arizona is one of the Four Corners states. It borders New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California and touches Colorado. It also has a 389 mi (626 km) international border with the states of Sonora and Baja California in Mexico. It was the last of the 48 continental states to be accepted into the Union. The word Arizona means "little spring" in the Papago Indian language.
The Grand Canyon State, this popular nickname for Arizona, is a reference to the incomparable Grand Canyon in the northern part of the state. This is one of the world's natural wonders, and 
nearby are many bed and breakfasts to accommodate visitors to Arizona’s famous attraction. In addition, visitors come to see many other national forests, parks, monuments and Indian reservations around the state. Of course Arizona is noted for its desert climate, exceptionally hot summers and mild winters, but visitors should remember that the high country in the north features pine forests and mountain ranges which contrast with the lower deserts. There are Arizona bed and breakfast establishments in all these parts. Some of them are run by native Americans. Today, Arizona has one of the largest U.S. Indian populations; more than 14 tribes are represented on 20 reservations.
Arizona history is rich in legends of America's Old West. It was here that the great Indian chiefs Geronimo and Cochise led their people against the frontiersmen. Tombstone, Arizona was the site of the West's most famous shoot-out—the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. You can stay at an
Arizona B&B, inn or lodge in or near Tombstone. The state is filled with amazing artifacts from civilizations past. Galleries and museums can be found in almost all of the cities and towns of Arizona. The tourist hotspot of Scottsdale is one of the most popular areas for local artists to live and sell their works. Stay in an Arizona bed and breakfast and use your days to comb the art markets. In Scottsdale and other Arizona cities you can eat at restaurants offering authentic Mexican and Native American foods and return to you B&B in the evening..
