I live in Rio Rico (get out your maps, folks, I ain't telling you where it is!) And last weekend, on Sunday, I road tripped to the Grand Canyon with a visitor from Puerto Rico. We went to the south rim, east side only - but that was enough to blow her away! We also did side-trips through Sedona and the Wupatki Indian Ruins, and past Sunset Crater, an extinct volcano east of Flagstaff.

My friend was blown away by the varied landscape in Arizona - she thought it was all like Tucson, Sonoran desert.
